2023 Map of Hackberry Ranch

About this map

Rio Felix and Walnut Creek define the drainage patterns of this Chaves County ranching landscape, where ephemeral watercourses like Antelope Draw and Loin Draw carve through the high plains. The map illustrates a contemporary era of remote land management, anchored by the Champion Ranch Airport in the southeastern quadrant. This specialized aviation hub serves as a critical point of access for the surrounding rural territory. An established grid of local transit routes, including Sagebrush Valley Rd and Old Y O Crossing Rd, connects the scattered ranch holdings. The persistence of names like Made Draw and Walnut Draw reflects a long history of seasonal water reliance in an environment defined by its dry-creek topography and vast township-and-range divisions.
