2020 Map of Box Lake

About this map

Box Lake and the surrounding drainage network of western Lincoln County define this arid landscape during the early 21st century. The map reveals a complex system of seasonal watercourses and ephemeral basins, with Patos Cr and Arroyo del Macho carving through the terrain in the southern sections. This territory is marked by significant topographical variation, where the high country is split by deep incisions like Lavade Draw and Hogadero Draw. The presence of several distinct catchment areas, including the isolated Horse-lake and the Pedernal Arroyo, highlights the critical role of water management and natural drainage in this high-elevation region. Public Land Survey System boundaries for t5s r14e and t6s r15e indicate the organized grid of land division that overlays this open New Mexico rangeland, providing a clear reference for local land history and property boundaries.
