1951 Map of Derrick Draw

About this map

Greer Ranch and King Ranch anchor the northern landscape of this Chaves County quadrangle, where the topography is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Long Arroyo. Surveyed in 1951 with revisions from 1975, the map documents a sparse ranching economy dependent on subterranean water sources. A network of named wells and landmarks like Rattlesnake Windmill, Calhoun Windmill, and Walker Windmill are scattered across the high plains, illustrating the vital role of water infrastructure in this arid environment.
