2023 Map of Big Sinks
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Centinela Mound and the broad depressions of the Big Sinks dominate this Chihuahuan Desert landscape in Eddy County. This terrain is defined by its drainage patterns and water management, featuring ephemeral water bodies like Poker Lake and various livestock watering points including Windy Tank, Poker Tank, and Greenwood Tank. The presence of these tanks indicates the area's continued use for ranching, where water is the most precious resource.
