2020 Map of Long Draw

About this map

Long Draw winds through this expanse of Guadalupe County, serving as the central geographic feature of a landscape defined by its rural road network and section lines. The settlement of Sotano Blanco sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, connected to the surrounding ranch land by gravel routes such as Perez Rd and Eden Rd. These thoroughfares, along with Rica Rd in the southwest, illustrate the traditional land use patterns of east-central New Mexico. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System, showing the townships and ranges that have governed property boundaries in this high-plains environment since the late nineteenth century.
