2023 Map of Haystack Butte

About this map

Haystack Butte and the smaller Little Haystack rise above a high desert landscape defined by a critical network of livestock water infrastructure in Chaves County. This 2023 survey documents a terrain where drainage features like Sixmile Draw, Crockett Draw, and Bosque Draw dictate the placement of ranching assets. The map reveals an intricate system of named reservoirs and tanks essential to local operations, including the Henery Tanks, McGrew Tank, and the uniquely named Expensive Tank. Natural water features such as Ballard Lake, Ramadge Lake, and Salt Cedar Lake punctuate the arid sections between Ocate Rd and Olive Rd. This modern topographical record shows how the legacy of rangeland management persists through established access routes like Caprock Rd and Rodeo Rd, linking remote tanks and draws across the plains.
