About this map

Tularosa Valley defines this arid landscape in Lincoln County, where water management is the primary driver of human settlement and land use. The presence of specialized catchments like AAA Tank, Sam Dillard Tank, and J S Dillard Tank illustrates the effort to sustain livestock and life in this high-desert environment. Isolated homesteads such as Chihuahua Ranch and Withers Ranch stand as outposts within a terrain marked by deep seasonal drainage channels like Harkey Draw. In the southeastern portion of the map, The Malpais indicates a transition into geologically complex volcanic terrain. This survey reflects a sparsely populated area where large-scale ranching and military transit routes, including WSMR P Route 11, represent the contemporary footprint of the region.
