1972 Map of Timpas NW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Swink Reservoir No 2 and Swink Reservoir No 5 anchor this rural Colorado landscape, reflecting the essential role of water management in Otero County during the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by its wide, open character, punctuated by critical resource markers such as Harbeck Windmill and numerous water sources including Big Well, Good Well, and a Flowing Well. These points of interest, along with the distinct landmark Two Trees, suggest a history of ranching and utility maintenance in an area where every named feature served a functional purpose. An industrial layer is present through the cross-country Pipeline and a local Radio Tower, while fine red dashed lines on the survey indicate selected fence lines that demarcate property and grazing boundaries across the high plains.
