2010 Map of North Lake

About this map

Arroyo del Macho winds through this arid expanse of Chaves County, defining a landscape shaped by water management and ranching operations. The map reveals the infrastructure necessary for survival in this high desert environment, where livestock production relies on a network of named water sources like Lafferty Well, Percella Tank, and South Windmill. The presence of McNally Ranch and Johnson Ranch indicates the long-standing agricultural heritage of the area, while the eponymous North Lake and Big Tank serve as critical hydrological landmarks. Transportation is primarily limited to essential ranch and utility corridors, including Pipe Line Rd, Stargrass Rd, and County Rd B027, illustrating the area's sparse settlement and focus on cattle and resource management during the early 21st century.
