About this map

Arroyo del Macho and Gallo Arroyo define the drainage patterns of this Chaves County landscape, where the seasonal movement of water has carved a network of draws and named catchments. The area is characterized by its vital water infrastructure, including Twin Tanks, Columbus Tank, and North Tank, which support the high-desert environment across several sections of the Public Land Survey System. These features, along with Roach Draw and Cowboy Draw, suggest a region long-adapted for cattle ranching or land management. Transportation is limited to a handful of thoroughfares such as Stargrass Rd and Silverweed Rd, which cut through the vast tracts of T5S and T6S. This survey provides a precise accounting of the hydrological and man-made improvements in this remote New Mexico territory.
