About this map

Arroyo del Macho carves a path through this section of the Chaves County high desert, where ephemeral drainage patterns define the landscape south of Chalk Bluff. The area's limited water resources are represented by Selman Tank, reflecting the essential infrastructure for ranching and livestock in this arid environment. Settlement is focused toward the southeastern corner in Eden Valley, where the Eden Valley Cem provides a genealogical touchpoint for local families.

A network of county roads, including Red Bluff Rd and Hildalgo Rd, connects the scattered topographic landmarks. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Round Top and several significant draws, such as Bajillo Draw and Hackberry Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward the larger valley systems. This 2017 survey captures the rural character and land divisions of the region as it remains today.
