About this map

The arid landscape of Fairview Well in Sierra County reflects the vital importance of water management in the high desert of New Mexico. This 2017 survey documents a network of livestock or irrigation tanks that dot the terrain, including Antelope Tank, Keene Tank, and Waterhole Tank. These features, along with Hayfield Tank and Big Tank, illustrate the historical and ongoing land use patterns necessary for ranching and agriculture in this environment.

Access through this remote area is provided by a series of gravel and unimproved routes such as Naval Site Rd, E Well Rd, and Co Rd A-27. The map also captures the Public Land Survey System boundaries for townships including t11s r1w and t12s r1e, providing essential data for property research and land management. The concentration of water features like AAA Tank suggests a landscape carefully engineered to support life and industry far from major urban centers.
