2010 Map of The Old Dry Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2010About this map
The Old Dry Lake sits within a wide, arid landscape in De Baca County, characterized by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and vital water collection points. This 2010 survey illustrates a cattle-ranching geography where named tanks are the primary landmarks. Features like Big Ragland Tank, Little Ragland Tank, and North Ragland Tank cluster along Ragland Draw, while Double Windmills Draw and Indian Draw suggest the historical methods used to sustain livestock in this environment. The presence of School Section Tank reflects the Western legacy of designating land for public education support. A web of county roads, including County Rd-1-11 and County Rd-1-42, provides the only modern infrastructure through this remote New Mexico basin.
