About this map

Playas Lake dominates this arid landscape at the beginning of the 1980s, revealing a dry lake bed managed by an extensive system of Levees. The southern end of the basin is marked by industrial activity centered around a massive Smelter, which includes specialized infrastructure like a Sewage Disposal Pond and nearby Levees to control local runoff. This industrial site sits at the interface of the flat basin floor and the rising slopes of the Little Hatchet Mountains to the east.
