About this map

Cawley Draw and the broad drainage of Rocky Arroyo define this high-desert landscape in Eddy County, where ranching operations such as Tatman Ranch and Cawley Ranch have established a presence among the arid terrain. The map details a sophisticated network of water management features essential for survival and livestock in this environment, including Loafer Tank, C & C Tank, and Burro Tank.

The topography is marked by significant natural landmarks like Burro Hill and the wide expanse of Indian Basin. Navigability is provided by local routes such as Marathon Rd and Ponderosa Pine Rd, which connect the isolated ranch steadings. Named ephemeral drainages, such as Stinking Draw, Loafer Draw, and Fanning Draw, illustrate the complex watershed system that feeds into the canyons, including Box Canyon and Little Box Canyon.
