2017 Map of Gacho Hill NW

About this map

Marino Draw meanders through this section of Guadalupe County, serving as the primary drainage feature in a landscape defined by its subtle topographic relief and vast township divisions. This 2017 survey details the rural transition between t3n r16e and t2n r17e, where the sparse network of secondary routes like Co Rd 3ka and Jacklope Rd provides the only formal infrastructure across the high desert terrain. The map's precise ten-foot contour intervals reveal the intricate system of small hills and basins that characterize the region north of Vaughn. This cartography is particularly valuable for researchers tracing land ownership and public land survey systems in a sparsely populated area where natural drainages like Marino Draw historically dictated grazing patterns and settlement viability.
