1972 Map of Zuni Salt Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Zuni Salt Lake dominates the eastern portion of this high-desert landscape in Catron County, featuring a complex system of salt production including several Salt Evaporators and a pump house. This volcanic crater, or maar, serves as the geographical centerpiece for a region defined by scattered water sources and seasonal drainage. To the north and west, the terrain rises toward Mesita Blanca, while the rest of the quadrangle is marked by isolated water features such as Cheap John Lake, Lunas Lake, and the ephemeral Carrizo Wash. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching environment where life centered on critical infrastructure like Davila Well, Mireles Windmill, and Ikes Tank. A small cemetery near the salt lake remains as a quiet indicator of the local community's historical presence in this arid basin.
