1970 Map of Seven Lakes NW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Indian Ruins in the northeastern reaches of this McKinley County landscape point to a deep history of human habitation long before modern surveys. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Kin Klizhin Wash and Fajada Wash, which cut through the high desert floor. This 1970 field check captures a period of active resource exploration, evidenced by numerous Drill Hole locations scattered across the townships. The infrastructure of the era is sparse, marked primarily by isolated wells and fence lines, suggesting a landscape primarily used for rangeland. The transition between T. 20 N. and T. 19 N. reveals a plateau-and-wash system where water management was clearly the central concern for anyone working this arid New Mexico interior.
