2023 Map of Columbus NE

About this map

Seventysix Draw provides a topographical focal point for this arid corner of Luna County, where the landscape is defined by drainage patterns and critical water catchments. The mapping reveals a network of isolated water sources such as Buena Vista Tank and Oney Tank, which are essential features for land management and ranching in this high-desert environment. The road network consists primarily of county and secondary routes, including the evocatively named Whirlwind Rd and Dust Devil Rd, illustrating the sparse but organized infrastructure of the region. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey emphasizes the intersection of natural terrain with modern rural access roads like Co Rd B005 and Co Rd B007.
