2020 Map of Hackberry Ranch

About this map

Hackberry Ranch serves as a central landmark in this high-desert portion of Chaves County, where the landscape is defined by its seasonal hydrology and ranching infrastructure. The area is dissected by several significant ephemeral drainage patterns, most notably Rio Felix in the north and the meandering path of Walnut Cr to the south. These natural features are complemented by named topographic depressions such as Antelope Draw, Loin Draw, and Made Draw, which illustrate the subtle relief of the Pecos Valley region. Human activity is marked by a network of rural roads like Sagebrush Valley Rd and Old Y O Crossing Rd, as well as the Champion Ranch Airport located near Walnut Draw. This survey captures the sparse but vital settlement pattern of modern New Mexico ranchlands, where life and transit are organized around the limited water resources of the basin.
