2010 Map of Meadow Hill

About this map

Scharbauer Ranch stands as a primary point of human settlement in this high-desert landscape of Chaves County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, most notably the Rio Peñasco, which snakes across the northern half of the quadrangle. Other significant watercourses including Bluewater Creek and Singer Lake Draw illustrate the local hydrology of this arid region. The land is characterized by deep erosional features like Cuevo Canyon and Little Cuevo Canyon, while the eponymous Meadow Hill rises in the southern portion of the sheet. Modern access to this remote ranching territory is maintained via Helena Rd, which follows the general path of the Peñasco valley, providing a look at the rural infrastructure of eastern New Mexico at the start of the 21st century.
