1981 Map of Three Rivers

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Three Rivers is the focal point of this arid New Mexico landscape, situated where the Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the valley floor. The map highlights a significant Petroglyph Site near a dedicated Picnic Area, indicating a region with deep archaeological importance. Water management is the primary theme of human activity here, evidenced by a network of drainage features like New Draw and Sand Draw, alongside vital water sources such as the Crosby Well (Flowing) and Aguilar Spring. To the west, the boundary of the White Sands Missile Range marks a stark division between civilian ranching or transit lands and restricted military territory. Small-scale infrastructure, including a Landing Strip and the Chosa Tank, underscores the specialized adaptations required for life and travel in this high-desert environment.
