About this map

Harben Lake and its surrounding drainage systems define this high-plains landscape in Guadalupe County. The area is characterized by a network of seasonal watercourses, including the Arroyo Potrillo and the Arroyo San Juan de Dios, which reveal the erosional patterns of the New Mexico terrain. These arroyos and Cuervito Creek are crucial landmarks in a region defined by expansive ranching and land divisions.

Settlement patterns are reflected in the grid of rural routes such as Corriente Rd, Sneed Rd, and Robin Rd, which navigate the township and range lines of t9n r23e and t8n r24e. The transition between the upper reaches of the Cuervito Creek and the southern drainage toward the Pecos River basin highlights the subtle topographic shifts that dictated historical land use and travel through this remote portion of the state.
