Rio Penasco defines the hydrologic character of this western Chaves County landscape, where ephemeral watercourses carve deep impressions into the high desert floor. The map records a complex network of seasonal drainages, including Sixteenmile Draw, Singer Lake Draw, and Charley White Draw, illustrating the traditional movement of water through this arid region. These draws, along with features like Catclaw Draw and Bluewater Cr, dictate the placement of local infrastructure.
