1989 Map of Sagebrush Valley West

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Rio Felix and Eagle Creek wind through the arid expanse of the Sagebrush Valley in Chaves County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and ranching infrastructure. This 1989 survey captures a network of essential landmarks for livestock management, including the North Windmill, Teclote Windmill, and Cottonwood Windmill, which served as critical water sources in this high desert environment. The presence of a remote Landing Strip near the northern banks of the Rio Felix suggests the importance of aerial access for managing large, isolated land holdings. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain transitions into the seasonal drainage of Singer Lake Draw, illustrating the ephemeral nature of local waterways and the specialized infrastructure, such as the Metal Tank, required to sustain life in this part of New Mexico.
