2017 Map of Panther Hill

About this map

Panther Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Chaves County, anchoring a high desert landscape defined by ephemeral watercourses and a modernizing road network. The drainage patterns of Salt Creek and Middle Berrendo Cr cut through the terrain, while stock features like Tom Ned Tank indicate the ongoing importance of water management in the arid Chaves County basin. The area's development is traced through a grid of rural routes with evocative names such as Snap Dragon Rd, Twistflower Rd, and Verbeno Rd, which intersect with the major regional artery of Highway 285. This 2017 survey illustrates the intersection of traditional land use and contemporary infrastructure near the Pecos River valley, capturing the precise layout of local access roads and township boundaries as they existed in the early 21st century.
