2023 Map of Deering Place

About this map

The Pecos River meanders through this arid landscape on the border of De Baca and Chaves Counties, carving a path through high plains and alluvial flats. The terrain is characterized by expansive drainage systems such as Hernandez Draw, Huggins Draw, and Van Eaton Draw, which serve as vital conduits for seasonal runoff. Landmarks like La Espiata Peak rise above the surrounding plateaus, while locations such as North Flat and Pump Flat suggest a history of ranching and livestock management. Water sources are sparse but critical, represented by Willow Spring, Spring Tank, and Middle Spring. The network of secondary roads, including Dona Ana Rd and Socorro Rd, indicates the enduring rural infrastructure that connects these remote parcels of New Mexico range land.
