2020 Map of Red Lake

About this map

Red Lake sits at the heart of this Eddy County landscape, surrounded by an intricate web of roads and desert draws. The terrain is defined by the gradual descent of Hart Canyon and the dry beds of Logan Draw, Scoggin Draw, and Chalk Bluff Draw. These drainages dictate the local topography, which is etched with a network of access routes named for local operations and families, such as Rossman Ranch Rd and Turkey Track Rd. A significant corridor marked Southern Union runs through the western sections, while the map records the infrastructure of the modern rural economy through labels like T V Power Rd and Illinois Camp Rd. The arrangement of these features illustrates the balance between the natural arid landscape and the intensive industrial and ranching use of the land in the early twenty-first century.
