1963 Map of Pine Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Carson National Forest and the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation meet in this landscape defined by high mesas and deep canyons. The 1963 survey, later updated with revisions in the early 1980s, captures a transition in land use as energy exploration began to dot the terrain. Numerous Gas Wells appear across the drainages of Arroyo Companero and Cottonwood Canyon, alongside an extensive pipeline network. This industrial development exists alongside traditional water sources essential for life in the high desert, including Pine Lake and a series of named springs and tanks. The map provides a detailed record of these critical water points, from Piedra Blanca Spring in the north to Pablo Spring and Tapicito Creek in the south, reflecting the geographical importance of Vigas Mesa and Cereza Mesa.
