2023 Map of Harben Lake

About this map

Harben Lake sits within a wide, arid landscape of Guadalupe County, defined by the seasonal drainage patterns of the Pecos River basin. The terrain is marked by significant ephemeral watercourses, including Arroyo Potrillo which winds through the southern and eastern sectors, and Cuervito Creek in the north. This modern survey illustrates the sparse, high-plains ranching infrastructure characteristic of eastern New Mexico, where long-established range roads like Corriente Rd and Sneed Rd provide access across the vast township divisions. The intersection of local routes such as Cross Rd and Robin Rd highlights the remote nature of the region, where the naming of even small water features like Arroyo San Juan de Dios remains essential for local orientation and land management.
