1967 Map of The Old Dry Lake

About this map

The Old Dry Lake sits at the center of this high plains drainage network in De Baca County, where the 1960s landscape was defined by an extensive system of water management for ranching. The terrain is deeply etched by ephemeral watercourses such as Ragland Draw and Indian Draw, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the basin. The distribution of scattered water sources suggests a carefully maintained grazing economy, with family-named or functional landmarks like O'Brian Tank, Heifer Tank, and the School Section Tank providing critical infrastructure across the sections.
