2023 Map of Black River Village

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Guadalupe Ridge and the Frontier Hills dominate this portion of the Chihuahuan Desert landscape, where the transition from high ridgelines to alluvial draws defines the local geography. The eastern edge of Carlsbad Caverns National Park is visible, marking the boundary between federally protected wilderness and the working lands of Eddy County. Small settlements and springs provide the primary evidence of human habitation in this arid environment, with Whites City serving as a gateway at the intersection of Whites City Rd and the main highway corridor. To the east, Black River Village sits near the headwaters of the Threemile Draw, where water sources like Blue Spring and Castle Spring were historically vital for livestock and early ranching operations. Significant draws including Elbow Canyon, Jurnigan Draw, and Walnut Canyon illustrate the complex drainage patterns leading away from the mountains toward the Black River basin.
