About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Harding County, where large tracts of public land intermingle with private holdings. The area is defined by a series of intermittent watercourses and draws that drain the territory, including Carrizo Cr, Sabino Cr, and the appropriately named Reunion Draw. The namesake settlement of Kansas Valley sits in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural operations.

Transportation in this corner of New Mexico is guided by a sparse but functional network of rural corridors, notably Co Rd R and Miller Ranch Rd. The presence of features like Spear Tank and Spear Draw highlights the importance of water management in this arid environment. This survey captures a moment in the modern administration of these historic grasslands, showing the precise township and range boundaries that have governed land use since early settlement.
