2020 Map of Big Sinks
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Big Sinks characterizes the arid topography of this Eddy County landscape, where natural depressions and drainage systems dictate the layout of the land. In the northern reaches, Centinela Mound rises as a prominent landmark above Dog Town Draw, while the presence of Poker Tank, Poker Lake, and Windy Tank underscores the importance of water management in this high-desert environment. The region is etched with remote corridors such as Twin Wells Rd and McDonald Rd, which navigate the terrain near Pierce Canyon. This 2020 survey reveals a landscape defined by its ranching infrastructure and natural geology, showcasing the sparse network of rural roads like Buck Jackson Rd and Buckthorn Rd that cross the townships of the New Mexico interior.
