2017 Map of Long Draw

About this map

Long Draw carves a path through this high plains landscape of Guadalupe County, serving as the central topographic feature of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage patterns typical of the New Mexico interior, including the localized depression or landmark at Sotano Blanco in the northeastern reaches. Modern accessibility is limited to a few named rural routes, specifically Perez Rd and Eden Rd, which navigate the township and range boundaries. This late-2010s survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, showing sections within T4N R18E and surrounding townships. The landscape remains largely open, with contour intervals revealing the gradual elevations that characterize the approach to the Pecos River valley further west.
