2020 Map of Henshaw Tank

About this map

The dry ranchlands straddling the Chaves County and Eddy County line are defined here by a network of named stock tanks and local roads in southeastern New Mexico. Henshaw Tank and Bogle Tank serve as primary landmarks in a landscape otherwise dominated by section lines and small-scale infrastructure. The road network reveals the local utility of the area, with names like Goat Ropers Rd, Booger Langton Rd, and E Square Lake Rd providing a clear sense of the rural culture and grazing economy. This 2020 survey also captures the Hagerman Cutoff Rd, reflecting a transportation pattern that likely persists from earlier ranching eras, connecting this remote interior with the broader Pecos Valley region.
