About this map

Hasperos Camp stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Lincoln County, where the terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and vital water catchments. The map reveals a land structured by arroyos and draws, including Gallo Arroyo and Hackberry Draw in the northeast, which give way to deeper incisions like Hasperos Canyon and Little Hasperos Canyon. These natural features dictated the placement of ranching infrastructure, such as N-Hasperos Tank and Cedar Lake, which provided necessary water for livestock in this arid environment.

Transportation through the area is limited to established routes like Co RD 8001 and the road labeled Bogle. The landscape's management is further detailed through extensive township and range boundaries, showing the intersection of t4s r14e and t4s r15e among others. This layout illustrates the systematic division of the New Mexico backcountry, where named features like Lavade Draw and Doug Tank serve as critical landmarks for navigation and land use.
