2010 Map of Barn Draw

About this map

Corn Ranch serves as a lone point of settlement in this arid corner of Chaves County, situated at a junction near the upper reaches of Salt Creek. The landscape is defined by its drainages and water management, with the namesake Barn Draw and Camp Draw carving through the terrain towards the southeast. Strategic water features like Hub Tank, Ned Tank, and Todd Tank emphasize the ranching requirements of the region, where every catch-basin is critical for livestock. Topographical landmarks such as Haystack Mountain and the distinctively named Devils Hole provide orientation in an area marked by wide stretches of open land and intermittent canyons like Rock Tank Canyon. The network of local roads, including Verbana Rd and Draper Rd, provides the primary access through this sparsely populated New Mexican rangeland.
