2013 Map of Barn Draw

About this map

Corn Ranch sits at the northern edge of this high-desert terrain in Chaves County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and water management points defines the working landscape. The topography is dominated by the converging paths of Barn Draw and Camp Draw, which lead toward the serpentine course of Salt Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the critical role of water infrastructure in the arid West, mapping isolated locations like Flat Tank, Ned Tank, and Trail Tank across the broken country. From the prominence of Haystack Mtn to the geological indentation of Devils Hole, the map reveals a remote area largely shaped by ranching and natural erosion, with Rock Tank Canyon cutting through the western sections. Primary access is provided by unpaved routes such as Verbana Rd and Draper Rd, tracing the movement of people and livestock through the basin.
