2010 Map of Derrick Draw

About this map

Derrick Ranch and other established homesteads define this pocket of Chaves County, where water management is the central feature of the landscape. The reliance on subterranean resources is evident through a network of named water-drawing stations, including Rattlesnake Windmill, Walker Windmill, and Calhoun Windmill, which support the ranching operations scattered across the drainage basin. The terrain is marked by the seasonal path of Long Arroyo and the topographical depression of Derrick Draw. This 2010 survey also shows the modern infrastructure of the region, including a prominent Pipeline and a local road network with unique names such as Rat Camp Rd and Jessica Rd, reflecting the intersection of legacy ranching and contemporary industrial land use.
