About this map

Water management in the high plains of Otero County defines this 1970s landscape, where a network of family-named windmills and reservoirs supports life in an arid environment. The drainages of West Dry Creek and South Dry Creek dictate the placement of ranching infrastructure, including the Dry Creek Camp and several strategically placed watering holes. This map captures the distribution of critical resources like the Swisher Windmill, Salt Windmill, and Nemo Windmill, which served the local cattle industry of the era.
