2023 Map of Rock House Canyon

About this map

Rock House Canyon and the winding Arroyo del Macho anchor this Chaves County landscape, where the drainage systems of the Pecos River basin define the local geography. The area's reliance on water management is evident through numerous collection points such as China Tank, Flores Tank, and Bajillo Tank, which are critical infrastructure in this arid environment. The transportation network is sparse, centered on the historic corridor of Rock House Rd and Co Rd 5, reflecting a traditional ranching economy. Deep topographic incisions like China Draw and Eddleman Draw cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural erosion patterns of the New Mexico high plains. These features together show a region meticulously organized by section lines and townships, where every draw and water tank serves as a primary landmark for navigation and land use.
