About this map

Arroyo del Macho and the seasonal drainages of Middle Arroyo define this arid stretch of Lincoln County. The landscape is characterized by deep erosional features like South Canyon, Hasperos Canyon, and the map's namesake, Cistern Draw. These drainage systems reveal a network of land management and movement in a region where water is the primary architect of the terrain.

A sparse network of county infrastructure, including Co Road B026 and Pipe Line Rd, navigates the complex topography. The map illustrates the intersection of several townships, including t5s r18e and t6s r19e, highlighting the systematic division of this high-desert environment. North Lake and Hackberry Draw serve as specific landmarks for those tracing land ownership and geographic changes in this part of New Mexico during the early 21st century.
