About this map

Apache Creek and Perico Creek define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape in northeastern New Mexico, where water management is central to the local cattle-ranching economy. A extensive network of Levees and numerous named water sources, such as McCook Windmill and Ham Windmill, reveal the infrastructure required to sustain livestock across the grassland. The map documents the presence of the Kiowa National Grassland, highlighting the region's character as a managed public landscape.
