2010 Map of Loco Draw

About this map

Mile High Ranch and Reynolds Ranch anchor this corner of Lincoln County, New Mexico, where the high desert terrain is defined by wide-open rangeland and the essential water infrastructure of a working landscape. The ephemeral drainage of Loco Draw meanders across the territory, tracing a path through a region where life and livelihood depend on scattered groundwater sources. These are marked by functional landmarks such as West Pature Windmill and the distinctive Twin Windmills in the northeast. The map illustrates a network of rural transit, including County Rd-1-55 and County Rd-1-53, which connect these remote ranching outposts. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the enduring character of the New Mexico interior, documenting the specific fencing, roads, and water points that define local property and history.
