2023 Map of North Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Arroyo del Macho winds across this high plains landscape of the Chihuahuan Desert, providing a rare seasonal drainage route through the undulating terrain. The area is defined by its water management systems, notably North Lake and a series of livestock-supporting features such as Percella Tank, Sec Tank, and Big Tank. These artificial catchments suggest the long-standing importance of ranching in this portion of New Mexico, where surface water is scarce. The geography is further marked by the Lincoln and Chaves County line, which divides the eastern reaches of the map. Infrastructure is minimal, consisting primarily of utility access routes like Pipe Line Rd and rural connectors such as Stargrass Rd, reflecting a landscape dedicated to large-scale land use and pastoral industry rather than urban development.
