2013 Map of Holt Tank

About this map

The Chaves and Eddy County line divides this arid landscape of the Pecos Valley region, where drainage patterns define the local geography. Ranching infrastructure is central to the area, anchored by Holt Tank and its associated Holt Tank Draw. The terrain is deeply incised by seasonal watercourses such as Fourmile Draw, Catclaw Draw, and the winding Crooked Canyon. Transport is limited to a network of rural routes and ranch roads, including Russell Gap Rd and Hobble Rd, which connect isolated sections of the high desert. This survey provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System grid across T18S and T19S, documenting the sparse but essential water management and access points used in this corner of New Mexico during the early twenty-first century.
