About this map

Arid grazing land and ephemeral drainage patterns define this Luna County landscape, where the distribution of water sources shaped the movement of people and livestock in the early 1960s. The small settlement of Palomas sits in the northeast, while the rest of the quadrangle is punctuated by essential ranching infrastructure. A series of named wells, including Klondike Windmill, Big Windmill, and Halfway Windmill, reveal the reliance on groundwater to sustain life in this high desert environment.
