2011 Map of Kansas Valley

About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in northeastern New Mexico, revealing a vast expanse managed for conservation and grazing. The topography is defined by the Kansas Valley, where the subtle shifts in elevation are meticulously tracked. This 2011 survey highlights the critical role of water infrastructure in this arid environment, marking several family-named or locality-based water sources such as the West Spear Windmill, Jackson Windmill, and Slusher Windmill. These features indicate the ongoing agricultural and ranching utility of the land.
