About this map

Treat Ranch serves as a central landmark in this ranching landscape of Chaves County, where water management is the defining feature of the terrain. The map details a network of vital water infrastructure, including the North Windmill, Buck Windmill, and Tecolote Windmill, which support agricultural activity across the Sagebrush Valley. These features illustrate the essential nature of wind-pumped wells for sustaining livestock in this arid environment.

Seasonal drainage patterns are clearly marked by the winding courses of the Rio Felix and Eagle Creek, which converge with the Singer Lake Draw in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation is limited to functional ranch roads such as Felix Canyon Rd and Picacho Canyon Rd, tracing the natural contours of the valley floors and providing access between the scattered windmills and grazing lands.
