About this map

Pecos River and Delaware River define the arid landscape of south-central Eddy County, New Mexico, near the Texas border. This 2013 survey illustrates a region dominated by ranching and resource extraction, with the settlement of Red Bluff situated at a bend in the Pecos. Notable water management features like East Apple Tank and Coad Tank point to the critical role of livestock watering holes in this desert environment.

Remote ranching outposts such as Queen Ranch and Delaware Ranch are connected by a network of county roads and Us-285. To the east, the Red Bluff Reservoir and the Rustler Breaks terrain offer evidence of the area's complex drainage systems. Local history is reflected in specific landmarks like Rock House Crossing and Owl Draw, providing a precise look at the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century.
