About this map

The Cedar Mountain Range and Klondike Hills dominate this arid landscape in southwestern New Mexico. This region is defined by its water management infrastructure, essential for ranching in the high desert. Scattered across the terrain are several vital water sources and landmarks, including the Tod Hunter Reservoir and the Home Ranch. The landscape is etched with ephemeral watercourses such as Cedar Grove Draw, which are managed through structures like the Palomas Draw Retention Dam Number 8. Windmills are a frequent and significant feature of this map, serving as navigational markers and evidence of local industry. These include Hatcher Windmill, Turkey Knob Windmill, and Cedar Grove Windmill. The presence of these named wells and tanks like Rocky Tank illustrates the carefully maintained network required to sustain life and livestock in this remote part of Grant County.
