About this map

Arid drainage patterns and water management features define the landscape of this southern New Mexico region. Several significant ephemeral waterways, including Seventysix Draw and Gap Draw, cross the terrain, illustrating the natural water runoff paths essential to the local environment. Further to the southeast, the Flying W Draw provides additional insight into the local topography and drainage system. Human intervention in this environment is represented by the presence of Lookout Tank and Terry Tank, which serve as critical water collection points for ranching or land management in this dry climate. The northern portion of the map is traversed by Co RD c019, indicating the primary route through this section of Luna County. This survey reflects the persistent infrastructure required to support activity in a high-desert landscape where water sources and topographic shifts dictate the pattern of movement and land use.
