About this map

Clements Ranch and the rugged drainage systems of the Sacramento Mountains foothills define this 2017 survey on the border of Otero and Chaves counties. The landscape is carved by numerous deep canyons, including the winding Felix Canyon and its neighbor, Little Felix Canyon. These seasonal watercourses dictate the layout of local travel, with tracks like Felix Canyon Rd and Indian Canyon Rd following the natural breaks in the topography.

Local ranching infrastructure is evident through features such as Tank Number 4 and the naming of diverse landforms after pioneering families, such as Buell Canyon and Pendergrass Canyon. The presence of several Indian Service Routes, including Indian Svc Rte 12 and Indian Svc Rte 62, highlights the ongoing jurisdictional and administrative history of this high-desert environment, while Panther Draw in the southwest corner marks a significant topographic shift.
