2010 Map of Cooley Lake

About this map

McDowell Ranch and Good Ranch anchor this landscape in eastern Chaves County, where ranching infrastructure dominates the high plains terrain. The map reveals a network of county roads, such as County Rd-2-1 and Bojax Rd, connecting remote outposts and water sources essential for livestock. Water management is the defining feature of the area, as evidenced by the numerous named landmarks like North Spy Windmill, Howell Windmill, and West Windmills. These sites, along with depressions that form Cooley Lake, Urton Lake, and Salt Lake, highlight the strategic importance of every water point in this arid environment. The presence of Sea Camp further suggests localized hubs of activity within this expansive ranching district, while White Draw provides the primary topographic drainage through the southern portion of the quadrangle.
