Hackberry Ranch and other family holdings define this portion of Chaves County, where the high plains are dissected by a series of intermittent watercourses. Mapping based on 1947 aerial photography and 1955 surveys reveals a landscape of isolated homesteads such as Casarez Ranch and Brady Ranch, each vital nodes in the expansive ranching economy of the mid-twentieth century. The drainage patterns of Rio Felix, Antelope Draw, and Walnut Creek dictate the placement of these settlements and several windmills scattered across the sections.
