1978 Map of Encino Draw

About this map

Bullis Flat and the surrounding drainage network of western Chaves County define this landscape of the late 1970s. The area is characterized by an intricate system of ephemeral watercourses, including Fourmile Draw, Horse Draw, and the titular Encino Draw, which carve through the high plains terrain. Human presence is marked by the ranching and resource infrastructure of the era, visible through numerous water catchments like New Tank and Holt Tank, as well as a prominent industrial Pipeline cutting across the southern half of the quadrangle. Several remote Landing Strips and a solitary Drill Hole suggest a region shaped by both aerial access and subsurface exploration. The topography is dominated by local heights such as Hall Peak, which overlooks the complex series of canyons and draws that direct the occasional flow of water through this arid environment.
