About this map

Rio Peñasco winds across this high plains landscape of Eddy County, defining a region where cattle ranching and transportation infrastructure intersect. The map documents the area surrounding Dayton, a settlement positioned just east of the primary north-south corridor of Us-285 and the Seven Rivers Hwy. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring footprint of large-scale landholdings, featuring landmarks such as the One Hundred Ranch and the Taylor Ross Ranch.

Evidence of local history is preserved in the network of county roads and named locations like Frontier Post. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the seasonal drainage of North Seven Rivers, which cuts through the township sections toward the eastern boundary near NM-381 and Lakewood Rd. The alignment of Kincaid Ranch Rd and various numbered county roads suggests a managed landscape dictated by water access and regional connectivity.
