About this map

Rio Peñasco cuts across the northern edge of this high-desert ranching landscape in Eddy County. The 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its water management and vast open sections, where cattle ranching remains the primary endeavor. Named holdings such as Runyan Ranch and Bunting Ranch are connected by a network of county roads, including Co Road 21 and Siegrest Rd.

Surface water is a critical feature of this terrain, documented through numerous named tanks and draws like Hilt Tank, Red Tank, and the deep drainage of Siegrest Draw. The namesake Antelope Sink and the distinctive Strychnine Draw Ranch provide important landmarks for local historians and genealogists tracking the footprint of specific family operations. The presence of Hilt Well and Williams Well further emphasizes the reliance on groundwater in this arid territory.
