2023 Map of Meadow Hill

About this map

Rio Peñasco meanders through the northern reaches of this landscape, defining a critical drainage pattern in a region where water dictated the pulse of livestock ranching and travel. This modern 2023 survey provides a clear view of the high-desert topography in Chaves County, where the dry channel of Bluewater Creek cuts across the central townships before its confluence further east. The area is defined by sharp elevation changes, particularly around Meadow Hill and the deep incision of Cuevo Canyon in the southwest. A single major terrestrial artery, Helena Rd, traverses the northern sections, connecting the remote draws and basins. The mapping includes detailed Township and Range boundaries, serving as a reliable reference for identifying current land parcels and the persisting natural landmarks like Walnut Draw that have long served as navigation points in the New Mexico interior.
