About this map

Prisor Well and the surrounding desert landscape of southern New Mexico are defined by a critical network of water infrastructure in a high-arid environment. This 2017 study illustrates the reliance on tanks for range management, including Martin Tank, CCC Tank, and Hidden Tank, which are scattered across the township boundaries of T15S and T16S. The topography is influenced by Lyons Draw, a natural drainage feature that shapes the local relief.

Transportation is facilitated by a grid of county roads, most notably Co Rd A021 and Co Rd 021, which provide access to these remote water points and survey sections. The proximity of the Sierra and Doña Ana county line in the southeastern corner underscores the political geography of the region. For those researching land use or ranching history, this map provides a precise record of the named tanks and wells that have supported local industry into the twenty-first century.
