About this map

Horse Draw and Suckerville Draw cut through this arid landscape in southern New Mexico, where the network of ephemeral watercourses defines the terrain. The presence of several named water collection points, such as Art Tank, Terry Tank, and Frijole Tank, indicates the vital importance of water management for local ranching operations in this high-desert environment. These features are often the primary landmarks in an area dominated by dry washes like Tomerlin Draw and Bisbee Draw.

Transportation is centered on Hermanas Grade SW and Co RD c003, which provide access through the open range. The map illustrates a landscape of large-scale land divisions, including t27s r11w and t28s r10w, where topographic variations are subtly marked by features like Corkscrew Draw and Sacaton Draw. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects the enduring character of this borderlands region.
