About this map

The Pecos River snakes through this arid borderland in southern Eddy County, cutting a path toward the New Mexico-Texas state line. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, featuring significant geographic markers like Brushy Draw and Tucker Draw that channel occasional runoff toward the river. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the northern reaches of the Red Bluff Reservoir begin to take shape, a vital water management feature for the surrounding high desert.

A network of specialized roads supports the local economy, with labels such as Pipeline Rd, Whitehorn Rd, and Tarbrush Rd indicating a landscape managed for energy and ranching. The map illustrates the transition from the New Mexico plains into the rugged border territory of Texas, providing a clear record of the intersection between modern infrastructure and the natural course of the river valley.
