About this map

The high plains of the Pecos River valley are defined here by a network of intermittent watercourses and ranching access roads along the border of De Baca and Chaves Counties. Drainage features like South Fork White Draw and Sand Draw carve through the landscape, indicating the natural flow of water in this semi-arid region. The human imprint on the land is primarily evidenced by a grid-like system of county roads and specialized routes such as Bojax Hdqts Rd and Rambling Rd. These paths provide essential connectivity across vast grazing territories, linking remote ranching headquarters to regional thoroughfares like San Patricio Rd. This 2023 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural character of southeast New Mexico, where the infrastructure is built around the needs of large-scale livestock operations and the management of seasonal water resources.
