About this map

The Cimarron River and its network of tributaries define this Colfax County landscape, where the high plains meet the transition to more varied terrain. In this contemporary survey, the intricate drainage patterns of Rayado Creek and Urraca Creek carve through the southern portion of the sheet, while Ponil Creek and its tributary, Cerrososo Creek, dominate the north. The presence of the Springer Ditch and the reservoir at Number Two Lake points to a sophisticated water management system vital for ranching or agriculture in this arid region. Although the area is lightly settled, rural corridors like Horseshoe Rd and Deer Run Rd provide access through the valley systems that have historically shaped movement and land use in this part of New Mexico.
