1996 Map of Timpas SW

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

The Comanche National Grassland dominates this section of Otero County, revealing a landscape defined by the essential search for water in the high plains. Unlike more densely settled agricultural regions, the topography here is shaped by intermittent drainages like West Dry Creek and South Dry Creek, where ranching operations have established a network of reservoirs and windmills. Significant water features such as Larson Reservoir, Anderson Reservoir, and Haight Reservoir indicate the effort to capture seasonal runoff for livestock. The map provides a look at isolated outposts like Dry Creek Camp and family-named infrastructure including the Swisher Windmill and Reed Windmill, which served as critical landmarks for 20th-century land management within the national grassland.
