About this map

Kincaid Ranch sits as the primary named settlement in this arid section of Chaves County, positioned where the high plains meet a complex network of ephemeral drainages. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Rio Felix, which meanders across the central portion of the map, carving through the terrain alongside features like Twin Butte Canyon and Crooked Canyon. This 2017 survey reflects a remote ranching environment where water management is critical, evidenced by the presence of Made Tank and several named draws including Made Draw and Loin Draw.

Transportation through these ranch lands relies on a grid of local roads and cattle tracks, such as Sagebrush Valley Rd and the Old Y O Crossing Rd. In the southern reaches, Walnut Cr and Walnut Draw mark the gradual descent of the land. The map provides an essential record of modern land divisions and rural infrastructure in this New Mexico interior, documenting the specific geography of these named canyons and water-harvesting features.
