About this map

Indian Basin and the Seven Rivers Hills define this high desert landscape in Eddy County, where the transition from basin floors to the rising Guadalupe Mountains is marked by a complex network of canyons and draws. The drainage patterns of Rocky Arroyo and Martha Cr carve through the limestone terrain, creating distinct landmarks such as The Tepee and the prominent Azotea Mesa. Local topography is punctuated by family-named features and ranching heritage markers like Old Ranch Knoll and Old Ranch Canyon.

Modern infrastructure, including Marathon Rd and White Pine Rd, follows the natural contours of the land. This 2020 record of the area shows how the landscape is segmented into townships, including t21s r23e and t21s r24e, which help ground the locations of named water sources like Weld Tank. From Lookout Point in the south to Wadcutter Draw in the north, the map provides a clear view of the ranching and resource-rich environment of southeast New Mexico.
