2020 Map of Red Bluff

About this map

The Pecos River snakes through the arid landscape of Eddy County, serving as a primary corridor for water and navigation near the southern New Mexico border. The settlement of Red Bluff sits near the confluence where the Red Bluff Draw meets the river, a location historically significant for its water access in an otherwise parched environment. To the south, the Delaware River flows eastward, joined by seasonal drainages such as Owl Draw. The network of local infrastructure, including Cooksy Ranch Rd, Whites City Rd, and Longhorn Rd, reflects the area's ongoing reliance on ranching and livestock management. This 2020 survey also identifies livestock-supporting features like Mule Tank, illustrating the persistent adaptation to the Chihuahuan Desert terrain where every named water source or catchment remains vital for local land use.
