2017 Map of Indian Draw

About this map

Indian Draw winds through this high-desert landscape in southeastern Otero County, defining the drainage patterns of a region shaped by water scarcity. The terrain is a complex network of ephemeral watercourses including Rough Draw, Lucky Draw, and Moccasin Draw, which descend toward the lower plains. To manage this arid environment, numerous water features such as Merrit Tank, Smith Tank, and George Tank are strategically positioned across the land. Transportation is facilitated by a grid of county roads, most notably Co RD e002 and Co RD e008, which provide access to this open range. This 2017 survey details the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t21s r14e and t22s r15e, illustrating the intersection of natural topography and administrative land management.
