About this map

Bond Draw carves a path through this Eddy County landscape, which is defined by an extensive network of ephemeral drainages and essential ranching infrastructure. The arid terrain is segmented by historic cattle-working features such as Beaman Tank, Double Tank, and the numbered CCC Tank Number 2, which indicate the long-term management of water in this desert environment.

A series of named draws, including Threemile Draw, China Draw, and both North Hackberry Draw and South Hackberry Draw, show the complex natural drainage patterns leading toward the Pecos River valley to the east. The human imprint on the land is represented by local transit routes like Black River Village Rd and Old Cavern Hwy, which connect the remote rangelands. The presence of the Southern Canal in the northeast corner highlights the transition from the dry upland draws to the irrigated agricultural systems of the lower valley.
