1989 Map of Sixteenmile Draw East

About this map

Rio Peñasco provides the lifeblood for this arid stretch of the Pecos Valley, where the Hope Community Canal and Johnson Ditch reflect a landscape defined by irrigation and water management. This provisional survey captures the intersection of Chaves and Eddy counties, characterized by a series of significant drainage features including Charley White Draw, Catclaw Draw, and the prominent Sixteenmile Draw. These natural watercourses are punctuated by essential desert infrastructure such as Sixteen Tank and various groundwater sources like Penasco Well and Deep Well. A small Cem stands as a quiet marker of the families who settled this high desert region, while labels like Hackberry Draw and Walnut Draw suggest the localized vegetation found along the ephemeral banks.
