About this map

Arid basin and range terrain dominates this portion of Luna County, where seasonal water management is critical for the local ranching economy. Significant landmarks such as Lookout Tank and Terry Tank serve as vital catchment points for livestock and wildlife in a landscape defined by dramatic shifts in elevation. The drainage patterns of the high desert are traced by named ephemeral washes including Seventysix Draw, Gap Draw, and Flying W Draw, which channel intermittent runoff from the surrounding uplands. Access through this sparsely populated territory is maintained via Co Rd C019, providing a modern connection between the township and range divisions of T25S and T26S. This survey provides a precise account of the topographical contours and hydraulic features necessary for navigating and managing this Southwest desert environment.
