2023 Map of Horseshoe Bend NW

About this map

Deadman Canyon and Tecolate Canyon define the drainage patterns of this high-altitude landscape along the border of Chaves and Lincoln Counties. This 2023 survey provides a clear view of the ranching and livestock infrastructure in a dry, dissected region where water features like Blackwater Draw and Big Draw are primary landmarks. The presence of Border Hill in the southeastern quadrant serves as a major topographic marker in an otherwise consistently rolling terrain. This environment is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with grid lines for several townships including t10s r20e and t9s r21e intersecting across the draws. Local movement is facilitated by a network of secondary roads such as Co Rd E034 and Co Rd E035, which connect various unnamed ranch sites and agricultural developments across the county line.
