About this map

Holt Tank sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Chaves Co and Eddy Co. The area is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and canyons, including the prominent Bullis Canyon and Crooked Canyon. These natural features, alongside numerous named draws like Fourmile Draw and Catclaw Draw, dictate the sparse infrastructure of the region.

A network of local and county roads, such as Russel Gap Rd, Bronc Rd, and Armstrong Rd, provides access across the transition between Townships 18 and 19 South. The distribution of tanks and named draws like Collier Tank Draw and New Tank Draw highlights the vital importance of water management in this arid stretch of southeastern New Mexico, where topographic relief and seasonal runoff channels are the primary landmarks for those navigating the backcountry.
