McDermott Wells serves as a primary reference point in this arid landscape of Chaves County, where water sources and named paths dictate the layout of the land. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems such as Hobbs Canyon and the titular Shannon Draw, which are critical features for understanding the hydrology of this high-desert environment. Historical naming conventions are preserved through the network of local roads, including Dona Ana Rd, Taos Rd, and Sierra Rd, which crisscross the section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
