1972 Map of Timpas NE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Timpas Creek meanders through the arid Otero County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where water management was critical by the early 1970s. This survey documents the infrastructure required to support life and industry in the Colorado plains, most notably the Rocky Ford High Line Canal and the Swink Reservoir No 1. The map reveals a land divided by an extensive network of pipelines, suggesting a significant investment in resource transport across the open terrain. Human activity is further evidenced by industrial markings such as a Gravel Pit and a Drill Hole, alongside a rare Flowing Well. These features point to a history of subsurface exploration and the careful capture of every available water source for agricultural or industrial utility during this era.
