1973 Map of Tule Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Cañada del Tule meanders through this arid ranching landscape in Roosevelt and Curry Counties, providing the primary drainage for a region defined by its dispersed water sources. The importance of groundwater for survival and industry is evident in the numerous named points across the map, including Forty Acre Well, East Sweet Well, and Brown Well. The landscape is a mix of stable terrain and ephemeral hydrology, represented by Little Tule Lake and areas of Shifting Sand. Human settlement is sparse and tied to the land's agricultural output, anchored by the Hart Ranch and Steele Ranch. Remote thoroughfares like Sun Dale Valley Road connect these isolated holdings, while the boundary between Curry and Roosevelt Counties cuts a straight line through the basin.
