About this map

Arroyo del Macho and Pedernal Arroyo define the drainage patterns of this Lincoln County landscape, showing the complex system of seasonal waterways that shape the high desert terrain. The 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates how local infrastructure follows these natural contours, with routes like Co Rd 8007 and Co Rd 8008 navigating the draws and canyons.

Remote water features such as Nix Tank and Middle Arroyo indicate the essential water management required in this arid region. The map highlights the intersection of public land divisions, including t5s r16e, and the geological features like Hasperos Canyon and Hogadero Draw that dominate the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This detailed topographic study provides a modern look at a sparsely populated area where cattle ranching and land management are guided by the intermittent flow of desert arroyos.
