Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
USFWS refuge centered on an ephemeral saline playa (Salt Lake / Arch Lake) on the Llano Estacado near Arch, southeast of Portales and straddling the Texas line. When wet, the playa hosts sandhill cranes and waterbirds; surrounding shortgrass supports lesser prairie-chicken, scaled quail, and other plains species. Minimal facilities—parking and informal walking only; administered with Muleshoe NWR (TX).
