2010 Map of Faywood Station

About this map

Faywood Station sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Grant County, where the topography is defined by an intricate network of ephemeral watercourses. The drainage patterns of Whitewater Creek, Lampbright Draw, and San Vincente Arroyo illustrate the complex watershed of this arid region. Cattle ranching operations, such as the 2-C Cattle Company, maintain a presence amidst the sparse terrain, while Bertha Moore Rd and Hogback Draw provide geographic context for the local road network and natural landmarks. The map documents the relationship between modern ranching footprints and the ancient hydrological features that continue to shape movement across the New Mexico plains. This survey provides an essential look at the land use and drainage systems south of the larger mountain ranges as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
