Boaz and its surrounding ranchlands characterize this portion of Chaves County, where water management is the primary driver of human settlement. The map reveals a sophisticated network of water infrastructure across the high plains, featuring a high density of named stock tanks and wells such as Savage Well, Beatty Wells, and McDowell Tank. These water sources, crucial for the local livestock industry, are scattered around distinct natural features like the ephemeral Curlew Lake and the low rise of Railroad Mtn.
