About this map

Sagebrush Valley dominates the northern landscape of this region, where the Chaves Co Eddy Co boundary line divides the arid terrain. The drainage network is a primary feature of this area, defined by the winding course of the Rio Felix and the rugged cuts of Squaw Canyon and Goaty Canyon. Toward the south, the terrain descends into a series of washes and ephemeral water sources, including Eagle Cr and the deep incision of Johnson Draw.

Evidence of range management and livestock water systems is scattered throughout the survey, noted by isolated landmarks like Young Tank, Dutch Tank, and the historic CCC Tank. Remote access across the county line is provided by unpaved routes such as Sagebrush Valley Rd and the aptly named Nowhere Rd. These features illustrate the sparse, functional layout of the New Mexico back-country during the early 21st century.
