About this map

The Pecos River carves a winding path through this Eddy County landscape, defining the character of a region where agriculture and energy extraction coexist. The settlement of Riverside serves as a local landmark near the junction of major roads like Chalk Bluff Rd and Arrowhead Rd. This 2010 survey highlights the prominence of the petroleum industry in the High Plains, notably at the Daugherty Oil Field and Logan Draw Oil Field.

A network of seasonal drainage features, including Dog Canyon Draw, Tumbleweed Draw, and Scoggin Draw, reveals the arid nature of the terrain, while permanent water sources such as Spring Lake and Brainard Lake provide essential localized contrast. Family-named infrastructure like Karr Ranch Rd and Vogel Rd offers valuable data for genealogists tracing the 21st-century land ownership and residential patterns in this part of New Mexico.
