2023 Map of Red Bluff

About this map

The Pecos River snakes through the arid landscape of Eddy County, serving as the primary geographical marker for this section of southeastern New Mexico. Near the settlement of Red Bluff, the river is joined by the Red Bluff Draw, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of a region defined by seasonal water flow. To the south, the Delaware River cuts across the terrain, accompanied by smaller features like Owl Draw and Mule Tank, which were essential water sources for the cattle ranching operations that have long shaped the local economy. A sparse network of roads, including Cooksey Ranch Rd and Whitehorn Rd, connects isolated outposts and ranching properties across the township and range divisions. The map reveals the infrastructure of a remote borderlands environment, where geographic features like the rivers and draws provide the only orientation in an otherwise expansive and open landscape.
