2013 Map of Strychnine Draw

About this map

Strychnine Camp and Cawley Ranch sit within a landscape defined by sharp drainage networks and high-country canyons at the junction of Chaves, Eddy, and Otero counties. This 2013 survey details the arid geography of the Strychnine Draw watershed, where the terrain is carved by features like Sargent Canyon and Deer Canyon. The map reveals a land managed for ranching and resource use, indicated by infrastructure such as Wilburn Tank and Collier Tank Draw. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of county and canyon roads, including Sargent Canyon Rd and Co Road 20, which navigate the elevation changes between Goat Canyon and the surrounding draws. The convergence of three county lines highlights the political geography of this high-desert region during the early 21st century.
