1996 Map of Timpas NE

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates the southern portion of this mid-1990s survey, representing a significant landscape of protected shortgrass prairie in Otero County. The terrain is defined by a network of water management features essential for ranching and agriculture in this semi-arid region, including Swink Reservoir No 1 to the northwest and Prairie Land Reservoir No 1 further south. These reservoirs, along with the meandering path of Dry Creek, indicate the vital role of water storage and drainage in shaping local land use. Industrial activity is sparsely represented by a Gravel Pit and a solitary Drill Hole, while a Flowing Well serves as a reminder of the subsurface hydrological resources tapped for regional needs. The map captures a transition between managed federal grasslands and private agricultural inholdings, punctuated by an extensive system of pipelines and levies that underscore the engineering required to sustain this environment.
