Hurst Ranch and Hill Ranch anchor this corner of Chaves County, where a grid of rural roads defines the arid landscape. The path of the Rio Felix cuts through the northern sections, showing the vital role of seasonal waterways in this agricultural and ranching district. Near the river, the Rio Felix Pit indicates local industrial extraction, while the southern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the Lake Arthur Cemetery. The road network, including Choctaw Rd and Cherokee Rd, reflects the organized land partitioning common to the Pecos River Valley. These survey lines connect scattered ranching operations and water features like Walnut Cr, providing a precise look at the rural infrastructure of New Mexico at the start of the twenty-first century.
