2010 Map of Sixteenmile Draw West

About this map

Rio Peñasco flows across this section of southeastern New Mexico, carved by a network of drainage draws and canyons that define the arid landscape. The Cauhape Ranch is the primary center of human activity, supported by landmarks like the Cauhape Teel Windmill and the Hope Retard Dam, which manages seasonal water flow in this dry environment. The terrain is marked by significant topographical features including Cuevo Canyon and Little Cuevo Canyon, while the local road network, such as Cauhape Ranch Rd and Singer-Lake Draw Rd, connects these remote ranching outposts. This era of land management is characterized by water control and livestock infrastructure in a region defined by its reliance on intermittent water sources like Bluewater Creek and Sixteenmile Draw.
