2017 Map of Polecat Draw

About this map

Pinatosa Canyon cuts through this high-desert landscape on the border of Socorro and Lincoln counties. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably Polecat Draw and Sacate Draw, which carve through the arid plateaus. A network of rural routes, including Co Rd 190 and Co Rd 213, provides the primary infrastructure through these sprawling rangelands. The presence of Johnson Tank highlights the essential role of water management in this environment. This 2017 survey reflects the remote character of the New Mexico interior, where land use remains centered on large-scale grazing and topography is marked by subtle shifts in elevation across sections like t3s r10e.
