2020 Map of North Lake

About this map

Arroyo del Macho winds across this high desert landscape, carving a prominent drainage through a region defined by scattered water catchments and ranching infrastructure. This survey captures the rural character of the border between Chaves and Lincoln counties, where the terrain is marked by essential water features like Percella Tank, Sec Tank, and Big Tank. These names reflect the vital importance of water management in a semi-arid environment. In the south, North Lake and Middle Arroyo further characterize the hydrology of the area. Connectivity is provided by a network of utilitarian thoroughfares, including the long-stretching Pipe Line Rd and local connectors like Stargrass Rd and Co Rd B027, illustrating how human activity and infrastructure have adapted to the expansive New Mexico basin.
