Jal Lake, Metal Cattle Drive Sculpture This lake spells "JAL" from the air. There is a small park next to it and also some iron sculptures. [Jonathan Griffin, 02/26/2005][RA: Next time we're barnstorming over New Mexico we'll look for it. Via Terraserver, we notice it's upside-down, since most maps use a north-top orientation -- so it looks more like a giant jockstrap. For the ground-bound, Jal displays "The Trail Ahead" by artist Brian Norwood -- 17 large silhouettes cut from steel of cowboys on horses driving cattle, 400 feet long.]
