About this map

The boundary between Lincoln and Chaves Counties bisects this section of New Mexico, where the high desert landscape is defined by a series of deep drainage systems. The Skeen Ranch Airport sits as a notable mark of modern land use in this ranching country, positioned on a plateau above the surrounding network of canyons. The terrain is dominated by geological features such as Twin Butte Canyon and Monument Canyon in the north, while Chivo Canyon and Pine Tree Canyon shape the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Water resources, critical in this arid environment, are represented by Shack Tank and the seasonal path of Crooked Cr. Local transport is facilitated by rural connectors like Co RD e030 and Co RD e028, which link the various ranching operations across the county line.
