Fifteenmile Arroyo and the high point of Round Mtn anchor this arid ranching landscape in Chaves County. This modern survey illustrates a territory defined by careful water management, where numerous man-made features like Round Mountain Tank, Boulder Tank, and Pacheco Tank are distributed across the high plains. The presence of Yoder Ranch in the southwest corner and isolated infrastructure like the Fifteenmile Windmill and Boswell Windmill highlights the enduring pastoral economy of the region. Drainage patterns are well-defined by landforms such as Cistern Canyon and Threadgill Canyon, while the local road network, including Chicory Rd and Purslane Rd, provides access through the expansive sections of the Public Land Survey System.
