2020 Map of Sixteenmile Draw East

About this map

Rio Peñasco flows across this high desert landscape, carving a primary drainage route through the rugged draws of western New Mexico. In the eastern portion of the sheet, the village of Hope stands as a central settlement point, supported by local infrastructure like the Hope West Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of named ephemeral washes, including Charley White Draw, Catclaw Draw, and Sixteenmile Draw, which illustrate the complex natural irrigation patterns of the region. A network of rural routes, such as Low Valley Rd and Side Kick Rd, connects isolated ranching features like Sixteen Tank. The map also captures the boundary line between Chaves and Eddy Counties, providing a detailed look at land division in a region shaped by its arid climate and water management history.
