2017 Map of Henshaw Tank

About this map

The arid ranching landscape of Southeast New Mexico is defined by its water-management features and boundary lines in this 2017 survey. Spanning the border between Chaves and Eddy Counties, the terrain is marked by essential livestock watering points such as Henshaw Tank and Bogle Tank. The map reveals a specialized grid of rural transportation, including corridors such as Hagerman Cutoff Rd and Booger Langton Rd, alongside local routes with evocative names like Goat Ropers Rd. This survey documents the modern layout of these high-desert plains, where the vast Public Land Survey System sections, like those in t16s r30e, dictate the placement of roads and resource infrastructure. The area’s character is primarily defined by its utility, supporting regional agriculture and industrial access via routes like E Square Lake Rd.
