2013 Map of Round Mountain SE

About this map

McDaniels Ranch and Johnson Ranch anchor this high-desert landscape in Chaves County, revealing the sparse, ranch-based settlement patterns of southeastern New Mexico. The terrain is defined by a network of ephemeral watercourses including Gallo Arroyo, Arroyo del Macho, and Fourmile Draw, which shape the land between wide plateaus. This 2013 survey illustrates the vital infrastructure required for remote ranching, where isolated landmarks like the New Windmill and several catchment basins such as Twin Tanks and Columbus Tank serve as critical points for livestock and land management. The sparse road network, featuring Stargrass Rd and Silverweed Rd, provides the only major access through these large grazing allotments and draws.
