2010 Map of Indian Flats

About this map

Dublin Ranch serves as a primary marker of human activity in this corner of Eddy County, where the landscape is defined by vast natural depressions and desert drainage systems. The terrain transitions across the Indian Flats and rises toward the distinctive elevation of Quahada Ridge in the southeast. Ephemeral watercourses like Old Indian Draw and Fenton Draw snake through the arid environment, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the Pecos River basin. A network of ranch and service roads, including the historically named Old Post Rd and Quahada Rd, provides access across the scrubland. This map documents the sparse but intentional infrastructure required to maintain ranching operations and resource management in the high desert of New Mexico at the start of the 21st century.
