2020 Map of Lovelady Draw

About this map

Dunlap Ranch and the Double V Ranch Airport anchor this ranching landscape in De Baca County, where the topography is defined by the network of seasonal drainages. Water management is central to life in this arid region, evidenced by the presence of Galloway Tank, Short Tank, and the perennial Lovelady Springs. The terrain is carved by numerous draws, most notably Lovelady Draw, Gillespie Draw, and Whites Draw, which provide natural corridors through the high plains. A grid of rural roads, including Cowchip Rd, Horseshoe Rd, and Pecos Diamond Rd, connects these remote outposts and water sources, tracing the movement of livestock and people across the eastern New Mexico range.
