Magdalena Gap defines the high point of this high-desert landscape in Doña Ana County, where the terrain breaks between the peaks and the broad expanse of Apache Flats. This 2013 survey illustrates a region shaped by ephemeral water management, essential for ranching and survival in the arid Southwest. A network of county roads, including CO Road C003 and CO Road C008, connects a series of named water catchments and basins such as Georgie Tank, Blackburn Tank, and Coldiron Tank. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by Candler Draw and Mason Draw, showing how seasonal runoff is channeled through the desert floor. This map is a precise record of the infrastructure and land divisions, including t23s r4w, that characterize this part of New Mexico.
