2020 Map of Deep Well

About this map

Rock Tank Canyon and Middle Arroyo cut through this high desert portion of Chaves County, where water management defines the landscape. The arid terrain is marked by a network of catchments and drainage features, including Blm Lake, Browns Lake, and South Lake. These water sources, alongside smaller features like Joes Tank and Will-Johnson Tank, illustrate the essential infrastructure required for ranching or land management in this environment. The presence of China Draw and Rosy Draw further suggests the natural runoff patterns that have shaped the local geography. A sparse network of county roads, such as Whiteflat Rd and Deepwell Rd, connects these isolated landmarks, providing a clear picture of the region's rural character and the way historical land use has adapted to the natural drainage of the Pecos River basin area.
