About this map

Pretty Bird Hills dominate the western landscape of this Chaves County territory, part of a complex network of dry washes and high desert terrain in southeastern New Mexico. The area is characterized by an intricate system of drainages, including Walnut Draw and the winding Crooked Canyon. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by ranching infrastructure and access routes like Cauhape Ranch Rd in the north and Russell Gap Rd traversing the southern sections.

Water management and natural erosion patterns are evident through named features such as Fourmile Canyon, Bullis Canyon, and the eastern Fourmile Draw. The map provides a precise look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, clearly marking the boundaries of T18S and T19S across the R18E and R19E ranges. This 2013 survey serves as a vital record for understanding land use and topographic relief in this portion of the state, documenting the relationship between the remote road network and the significant canyons like Horse Canyon and Long Canyon.
