2013 Map of Pedernal Arroyo

About this map

Arroyo del Macho and Pedernal Arroyo define the hydrological character of this Lincoln County landscape, carving through the high plains of New Mexico. The drainage patterns of Hogadero Draw and the northern reach of Hasperos Canyon illustrate the intermittent water systems typical of this arid region. The network of rural routes, including CO Road B007 and CO Road E014, provides a framework for the vast grazing lands partitioned by township and range boundaries. This modern survey captures the persistence of the ranching economy, where features like Nix Tank serve as critical landmarks in an environment where water management dictates the utility of the land. The presence of routes such as T W Rd indicates the localized infrastructure necessary for navigating the expansive terrain between these seasonal arroyos.
