About this map

Running Water Draw meanders through the northeast corner of this high plains landscape in Curry County, defining the primary drainage for an otherwise arid expanse. During the early 1970s, the area remained characterized by vast agricultural sections and a network of windmills, denoted simply as Well and Wells across the terrain. These water sources were critical to the survival of local ranching operations in this portion of the Llano Estacado. Cultural developments, including the industrial activity at a Gravel Pit and the presence of Dead Horse Lake near the southern boundary, highlight the small-scale modifications to the natural topography. The survey also preserves the precise grid of section lines and fence boundaries that organized land ownership in this rural New Mexico territory.
