2010 Map of Strychnine Draw

About this map

Strychnine Camp sits at the base of the southeastern hills in this high-desert landscape, serving as a rare point of human habitation among a complex network of drainage systems. The terrain is defined by its deep incisions, where Strychnine Draw and Segrest Draw converge to the south, while Buzzard Canyon and Goat Canyon carve through the central reaches. This 2010 topographic profile shows how the regional infrastructure, including Armstrong Rd and Sargent Canyon Rd, was designed to navigate around these natural watercourses. The presence of Wilburn Tank and Collier Tank Draw indicates the vital importance of water management in this arid New Mexico environment, supporting the cattle ranching or land use associated with local camps.
