1970 Map of Seven Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Seven Lakes sits as a quiet focal point in this high-desert landscape of McKinley County, as it appeared in the early 1970s. The topography is defined by the ephemeral Seven Lakes Wash, which drains the arid basin where isolated ranching and resource extraction left their mark. Scattered Drill Holes and the Togie Well indicate a period of active exploratory drilling, perhaps searching for oil or water in this dry expanse. Local habitation is sparse, centered on small outposts like the Ruby Wells Ranch. Of particular interest to those studying the long human history of the region are the unnamed Ruins located north of the wash, pointing toward older occupations that preceded the ranching era. The layout reflects a landscape where water management and mineral rights were the primary drivers of human presence.
