About this map

Running Water Draw carves a path through this high plains landscape of eastern New Mexico, defining the agricultural and ranching patterns of the mid-1980s. The map illustrates a region heavily reliant on groundwater, as evidenced by the numerous Wells and Well sites scattered across the terrain. While traditional ranching remains central with operations like Hammond Ranch and Smith Ranch, the infrastructure reveals more modern additions to the rural landscape. A Radio Tower and Storage Bins point to the logistical and communication needs of the era, while a remote Landing Strip and a lone Grave provide specific points of interest for local historians. This survey presents the geometric precision of township and range lines against the natural contours of the High Plains, capturing a moment when large-scale ranching and water management were the primary drivers of land use in Curry County.
