2017 Map of Bandanna Point

About this map

Azotea Mesa and the prominent Bandanna Point anchor this high-desert landscape in Eddy County. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including Beardon Canyon and Last Chance Canyon, which carve through the arid plateaus. The topography reveals significant elevation changes as the land rises toward the Guadalupe Mountains in the south. Unlike more developed regions, the area is characterized by vast open spaces like Bogle Flats and the Sotol Basin, with human presence primarily represented by a sparse grid of rural routes such as Co RD 408. This survey provides a clear view of the hydraulic patterns of the region, from the North Kuykendall Draw to the Wagontire Draw, illustrating how water has shaped the local geography over millennia.
