About this map

Harben Lake sits within a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses in this high-desert region of eastern New Mexico. The drainage patterns are dominated by several arroyos and creeks, most notably Arroyo Potrillo which winds through the southern half of the quadrangle and Arroyo San Juan de Dios in the northwest. The terrain is marked by the presence of Cuervito Creek, showing the reliance of local hydrology on these intermittent features.

Transport and access are facilitated by a network of rural routes such as Corriente Rd and Robin Rd, which serve the large grid sections of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents a sparse, ranching-oriented landscape where named landmarks are often tied to water sources or primary access roads like Sneed Rd and Cross Rd, illustrating the spatial organization of Guadalupe County in the early 21st century.
