About this map

Rio Peñasco flows eastward across this high desert landscape, serving as a primary water source in a region defined by its complex drainage network. The settlement of Hope sits on the eastern edge of the survey, where the river valley supports concentrated activity. To the west of the town lies the Hope West Cem, a significant site for local genealogical research.

The terrain is marked by numerous seasonal channels, including Hackberry Draw, Charley White Draw, and the namesake Sixteenmile Draw. These features, along with livestock water sources like Sixteen Tank, illustrate the ranching infrastructure essential to Chaves and Eddy counties. A web of local routes such as Low Valley Rd and Hideout Rd connect the scattered homesteads and draws that characterize this part of New Mexico.
