About this map

Ephemeral water sources and a network of county roads define this arid Otero County landscape. The distribution of water catchments such as Tulloch Lake, Lake Tank, and Rob Tanks reflects the essential infrastructure required for ranching and land management in the high desert. These features are often situated near natural drainage ways like Shiloh Draw and New Tank Draw, which channel seasonal runoff through the basin. The area is gridded by a series of primitive and secondary routes, including Co RD f001 and Co RD f026, providing access across several townships. This contemporary map captures the modern cadastral framework and surface hydrology of the region, emphasizing the importance of man-made storage features like Zazu Tank and Long Tank in an environment defined by its dry washes and sparse seasonal lakes.
