2010 Map of Red Bluff

About this map

Pecos River drainage patterns define this arid landscape along the New Mexico and Texas border, where the river winds southward toward the Red Bluff Reservoir. This 2010 survey illustrates the remote ranching and industrial infrastructure of Eddy County, anchored by established sites like the Queen Ranch and Delaware Ranch. The map captures a complex network of dry washes and canyons, including Red Bluff Draw, Owl Draw, and the prominent Rustler Breaks to the east. Transportation in this corner of the Permian Basin is primarily served by unpaved county routes and specialized infrastructure like Pipeline Rd, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to energy and land management. Significant water features such as the Delaware River, Mule Tank, and the historic Rock House Crossing provide critical landmarks in a terrain characterized by sparse settlement and wide-open rangeland.
