Meredith Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this dry corner of Otero County, where life and geography are defined by a sophisticated system of water management. The landscape is a network of engineered irrigation, featuring the Horse Creek and Black Draw Ditch, the Fort Lyon Storage Canal, and the Lake Canal. Central to this system is the Horse Creek and Black Draw Reservoir, held by the Horse Creek and Black Draw Dam, which supports the agricultural operations scattered throughout the plains.
