2010 Map of Lucky Lake

About this map

Buchanan Ranch and a network of named livestock infrastructure anchor this high-desert landscape in Chaves County. At the time of this 2010 survey, the area was defined by its water management, featuring a series of named wells and windmills such as Windy Windmill, Horse Pasture Windmill, and Frazor Windmill. The natural topography is shaped by seasonal drainages like Antelope Draw and the distinct depression of Deep Lake in the north. The human footprint is sparse but functional, centered on ranching outposts like Well Camp and the Publ Corral. Movement through this territory relies on a grid of rural routes including County Rd-146, Chesser Rd, and Buchanan Draw Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land rather than strict cardinal directions.
