1968 Map of Upper White Lake

About this map

Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge dominates this section of the High Plains, preserving a chain of saline lakes that characterize the local hydrology. The basin includes Upper White Lake, Lower White Lake, and the Goose Lakes, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding land marked by numerous wells and isolated depressions. To the south, the small settlement of Enochs sits at the intersection of local routes, while the refuge infrastructure is detailed with its Refuge Headquarters, a Campground, and a Landing Strip. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a network of unimproved roads suggests a landscape shaped by both conservation and rural industry. This record includes purple-ink revisions from 1979 aerial photography, showing shifts in the shoreline of Baileyboro Lake and new developments in the terrain over a decade of change.
