1961 Map of Star Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Star Lake Trading Post and a nearby Mission anchor this high-desert landscape along the Continental Divide, as surveyed in the early 1960s. The region is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Chaco Wash and Papers Wash, which cut through the arid terrain south of Pot Mesa. Local infrastructure supporting energy and transport is evident through the Star Lake Pumping Station, a Landing Strip, and several clusters of drill holes that mark subsurface exploration across the Sandoval and McKinley county line. Significant seasonal water sources and landmarks like Franciscan Lake, Calladito Lakes, and Arroyo Alto Pueblo provide specific points of reference for researchers tracing the historical geography of this remote corner of New Mexico. The map also captures local place names such as Daniel and Pot Point, alongside the prominent Raton Ceja del Continental Divide.
