2013 Map of Polecat Draw

About this map

Polecat Draw and its network of ephemeral watercourses define this high-desert landscape situated along the border of Socorro and Lincoln counties. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts, ranging from the deep incision of Pinatosa Canyon in the southeast to various catchment features like Johnson Tank. Transportation in the early 21st century relied on a sparse grid of county roads and the primary north-south artery of NM-55, which cuts through the western sections of the quadrangle. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the region, including Sacate Draw and No Name Draw, providing a clear look at how water moves through this arid environment. This 2013 survey serves as a detailed record of land divisions and rural infrastructure within the t3s r9e and t2s r10e township and range blocks.
