2023 Map of Foster Ranch

About this map

McDonald Cem stands as a focal point for family history in this corner of Eddy County, positioned north of the winding Middle Seven Rivers. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns and water management, with numerous named draws and tanks supporting ranching operations across the arid terrain. To the south, the Seven Rivers Hills rise above Box Canyon and the unusual topography of Sinkhole Flat. The network of local roads, including Rock Daisy Rd and Sawbuck Rd, provides access to these remote landmarks. This survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the contemporary character of the New Mexico backcountry, where seasonal water sources like Horner Tank and Round Tank are essential to the geographic identity of the Foster Ranch area.
