2010 Map of Kenna SW

About this map

Kelly Tank and the seasonal watercourses of eastern Chaves County define this high plains landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map provides a look at the essential water management and transportation infrastructure necessary for ranching and travel in this arid region of New Mexico. Prominent drainage patterns such as Falsey Draw and Kenna Draw cross the terrain, illustrating the natural catchment systems that dictate land use in the area. Remote access is maintained through a network of local thoroughfares, including County RD-77 and Mesquite RD, which connect isolated water features to the broader region. This 2010 survey reflects the enduring character of the New Mexico landscape, where geography is primarily defined by names associated with local hydrology and the long-established ranching roads that traverse the basin.
