1967 Map of Sardine Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

O'Brien Ranch and the small settlement of O'Brien center this arid Chaves County landscape, where survival is clearly tied to a complex network of water management features. The terrain is dominated by the prominent Mesa Palma to the north and the ephemeral Long Arroyo Draw to the south. This late 1960s survey documents a working ranching and industrial environment, illustrated by numerous stock tanks such as Moon Tank, Wolf Tank, and the curiously named Madison Square Garden Tank. Beyond ranching, the map traces the footprint of the mid-century energy industry through scattered Oil Wells and a significant Pipeline cutting across the southern sections. Notable landmarks for local history include a remote Landing Strip and several named basins like Sardine Lake, Twin Lakes, and Red Lake.
