2013 Map of Juan Lake

About this map

Juan Lake and Antelope Lake punctuate this high plains landscape in eastern New Mexico, where the terrain is defined by a network of drainage basins. This 2013 survey from the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a region dominated by ephemeral watercourses like Thirteenmile Draw and Zubi Draw, which carve subtle paths across the territory. The map is heavily gridded by Township and Range lines, including t13s r23e, reflecting the systematic land division of the American West. Transportation in this part of Chaves County relies on a sparse network of rural routes such as Co Road 112 and Chesser Rd, which provide access across the open range. The presence of Made Draw in the southern portion of the quadrangle further emphasizes the importance of these topographic features in an otherwise arid environment, serving as the primary landmarks for navigation and land management.
