The Pecos River snakes through the eastern portion of this landscape, carving a distinct corridor through the arid terrain of Chaves and De Baca counties. The high point of La Espiata Peak rises above the surrounding plains, overlooking a network of seasonal water sources and drainages. The map reveals a land defined by its hydrology and ranching history, where features like Willow Spring, Middle Spring, and Spring Tank provided essential water in a dry environment.
