About this map

Cimarron River and its multiple tributaries define this section of Colfax County, where high-desert drainage patterns dictate the local infrastructure. The landscape is marked by a complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways including Ponil Cr in the north and Rayado Cr in the south, reflecting a terrain managed for water distribution. Human activity is evidenced by the Springer Ditch and the presence of Number Two Lake, highlighting the critical role of irrigation and water storage in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to a sparse grid of rural routes such as Co Rd 12 and Deer Run Rd, which navigate the various draws and creek beds. The drainage systems of Urraca Cr and Chicoso Cr reveal the natural topography that shaped early ranching and land use in this part of New Mexico.
