2010 Map of Box Lake

About this map

Box Lake serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape of Lincoln County, defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and arroyos. The 2010 survey highlights the natural catchment system of the region, where the winding Patos Creek and Reventon Draw converge in the southern reaches. These ephemeral watercourses, including the notable Arroyo del Macho, dictate the placement of ranch roads and local infrastructure, illustrating how water availability shapes land use in this arid environment. The map also records the northern drainage patterns through Lavade Draw and Hogadero Draw, providing a precise record of the topography and hydrology as it existed during the first decade of the 21st century.
