2010 Map of Stone Well

About this map

Stone Well and its sparse surroundings in Otero County reveal a landscape defined by water scarcity and cattle ranching infrastructure during the early 21st century. The map depicts a network of unpaved county routes, including County Rd-F037 and County Rd-F035, which converge near small water catchments essential for life in this arid region. These artificial water sources, such as Cockleburr Tank, Sand Tank, and Lake Tank, serve as primary landmarks in a territory otherwise devoid of major settlements. The layout of these tanks and roads illustrates the continued reliance on isolated wells and basins to support livestock in the high desert of southern New Mexico.
