About this map

Rio Peñasco meanders across this Eddy County landscape, defining the hydrology of an area where traditional ranching roots meet modern road networks. This 2010 survey illustrates the sparse settlement patterns typical of the region, anchored by the community of Dayton and the distinctively named Frontier Post. The presence of established holdings like One Hundred Ranch and Taylor Ross Ranch highlights the enduring legacy of large-scale land use in this part of New Mexico.

Water management and drainage are central to the terrain, as evidenced by the courses of Fourmile Draw and North Seven Rivers. The map details an extensive local transit system, from named lanes like Snowberry Ln to agricultural arteries like W Kincaid Ranch Rd and Rock Daisy Rd. These features provide a clear view of the rural infrastructure supporting the isolated settlements and ranching operations during the early 21st century.
