About this map

The Pecos River carves a winding path through this portion of Chaves County, defining a landscape marked by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and groundwater sources. Named springs such as Red Spring, Sixmile Spring, and Crockett Spring highlight the critical role of water in this arid environment, providing focal points for local land use. These water sources are connected by a series of prominent topographical depressions, including Cottonwood Draw, Sixmile Draw, and Alkali Draw, which channel runoff toward the river basin.

A grid of rural roads, such as Roosevelt Rd, Mora Rd, and Fairacres Rd, facilitates movement across the township and range divisions. The presence of features like Bosque Draw and Cocklebur Draw suggests a landscape shaped by both natural erosion and specific vegetation patterns. This survey provides a clear view of the ranching and agricultural infrastructure in the region, where family-named roads and landmarks like Huggins Draw and Crockett Draw anchor the local geography.
