2023 Map of Cottonwood Hills

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Tecolote Peak rises above a landscape defined by an intricate network of desert drainage patterns in southern Eddy County. This arid terrain is marked by numerous seasonal features such as Hackberry Draw, Cottonwood Draw, and Red Bluff Draw, which funnel intermittent runoff through the Cottonwood Hills. The map details essential water management in this dry environment, identifying sources like Ward Waterhole and Apple Tank that have historically sustained livestock and travelers. Practical infrastructure is reflected in the naming of local access routes including Whites City Rd and Wilhoit Ranch Rd, which connect the scattered topographic landmarks of the northern Chihuahuan Desert. The presence of Owl Draw and Hay Hollow further illustrates the complex erosion patterns that shape this cattle-ranching and oil-producing region of New Mexico.
