2017 Map of Sixteenmile Draw West

About this map

Rio Peñasco defines the hydrological character of this Chaves County landscape, winding through a complex system of arid drainage features. The terrain is marked by numerous named draws and canyons, including Sixteenmile Draw, Catclaw Draw, and the intersection of Cuevo Canyon with Little Cuevo Canyon. This 2017 survey illustrates the persistent importance of ranch roads and rural corridors in this part of New Mexico, showing how Rio Penasco Rd and Sagebrush Valley Rd navigate the undulating landforms. Water resources are scarce but specifically identified, such as Bluewater Cr and Singer Lake Draw, providing essential orientation for those studying the regional geography. The map clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t17s r20e, which are vital for establishing contemporary and historical property locations.
