2023 Map of Parish Ranch

About this map

Rio Peñasco meanders through the northern reaches of this Eddy County landscape, defining the hydrology of an area marked by traditional ranching infrastructure and seasonal drainage patterns. The map illustrates a complex network of draws that channel water across the terrain, including Red Tank Draw in the northwest and Gardner Draw further south. These features, along with Segrest Draw and Fourmile Draw, are critical to understanding the natural movement of water in this arid environment. Human activity is evidenced by a grid of county roads and distinctive ranching landmarks such as Hoag Tank. Local transit relies on thoroughfares like Rocking R Red Rd and Crossbuck Rd, which connect remote sections of the Parish Ranch quadrangle. The survey reveals how land divisions and water management have shaped the development of this New Mexico territory.
