2020 Map of Rattlesnake Canyon

About this map

Maypens sits at the intersection of a developing road network and the natural hydrology of the Permian Basin in this recent survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp topographical break of Rattlesnake Canyon in the southeast and the seasonal drainage of Monument Draw. The map reveals a grid of rural infrastructure, including N Dal-Paso St and Deep Wells Rd, which slice through the township and range sections of the high plains. This layout reflects the industrial and ranching legacy of Lea County, where local thoroughfares like Anadarko Ln and Red Raiders Ln serve isolated property holdings. While the terrain appears flat at first glance, the intricate contouring around the canyon and draws illustrates the subtle but significant drainage patterns that have shaped movement through this part of New Mexico.
