Indian Draw snakes through this arid expanse of Otero County, defining a landscape where water management is the primary marker of human activity. The terrain is etched by numerous drainage courses including George Draw, Moccasin Draw, and Rough Draw, which serve as the lifeblood of the high desert ecosystem. Because surface water is scarce, the map reveals a network of man-made catchments vital for ranching and livestock, such as Munson Tank, Merritt Tank, and Smith Tank.
