About this map

Arroyo del Gallo winds across this high desert landscape in Lincoln County, carving a distinct drainage pattern through the mesa terrain. Based on aerial photography from the mid-1970s and field-checked shortly thereafter, the map illustrates a sparsely populated region defined by its hydrologic features and subtle industrial activity. The presence of a Gravel Pit in the northern section of the survey suggests localized resource extraction typical of rural New Mexico during this era. Other significant watercourses, including Hackberry Draw and Hines Draw, further define the topography, showing how seasonal water flow has shaped the land over time. This survey serves as a precise record of the physical geography and minor infrastructure of the Cowboy Mesa area before the turn of the twenty-first century.
