1979 Map of Kenna SW

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal path through the southeastern corner of this Chaves County landscape, anchoring the region's transport network during the late 1970s. The terrain is defined by dry watercourses such as Kenna Draw and Falsey Draw, which cross an arid expanse marked by a sophisticated system of water management. Named water sources including the Ownby Well, Newlan Well, and Kelly Tank indicate the vital infrastructure necessary for ranching and livestock in this part of New Mexico. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a Drill Hole suggests localized resource extraction or geological exploration. A network of Jeep Trails provides access across the interior, connecting remote landmarks like North Well and Three Wells to the primary rail corridor.
