1949 Map of Peters Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Peters Lake and its surrounding high desert terrain appear here as they were surveyed in the late 1940s. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage systems of Thirteenmile Draw and Zubi Draw, which carve through the Chaves County plains. Significant for Cold War historians, the map identifies Walker Air Base Auxiliary Landing Field No 1 and Walker Air Base Auxiliary Landing Field No 3, highlighting the importance of the Roswell region for military aviation training during this era.
