2023 Map of Henshaw Tank

About this map

Mescalero Ridge looms along the eastern edge of this arid expanse in the Chaves and Eddy County borderlands. The landscape is defined by the essential infrastructure of ranching and remote transit, where the seasonal water at Henshaw Tank and Bogle Tank provides rare relief in a high desert environment. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including sections within t16s r30e and t15s r29e, is overlaid with a network of specialized local thoroughfares. Named routes like Hagerman Cutoff Rd, Booger Langton Rd, and Goat Ropers Rd suggest a history of livestock movement and isolated desert life. The presence of Radio Rd and E Square Lake Rd further points to the intersection of modern utility and traditional land use in this corner of New Mexico.
