About this map

McVeigh Hills and the surrounding high desert plateau of Otero County define this landscape along the New Mexico-Texas border. This rangeland is shaped by a complex system of drainage channels including Cornudas Draw, North Draw, and Wind Mountain Draw, which carve through the arid terrain. The map reveals the critical importance of water management in this environment, evidenced by the strategic placement of man-made reservoirs like Brushy Tank, Gopher Tank, and the C C C Tank.

Transport and access are primarily facilitated by Dell City Rd and a network of county roads such as Co Rd F019, connecting the high elevations of Black Mtn and Chattfield Mtn with the lower draws. The survey details the township and range divisions across T25S and T26S, providing a clear view of land organization in this borderland region where the state line meets the Otero and Hudspeth County boundary.
