2023 Map of Comanche Spring

About this map

Comanche Spring serves as a vital water source in this arid stretch of Chaves County, anchoring a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and grazing land. The western edge of the quadrangle is occupied by the protected marshlands and riparian habitats of the Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge, where the Pecos River valley begins to transition into higher desert plains. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts at Comanche Hill and along the winding course of the Comanche Draw.
