About this map

Saera Ranch and a network of isolated water wells define this arid landscape along the border of De Baca and Chaves counties during the mid-to-late 1960s. The terrain is deeply cut by seasonal drainages including Wylie Draw, South Wylie Draw, and Huggins Draw, which converge toward the southeast. These watercourses are supported by numerous vital water sources such as Headwater Spring, Blue Hole Spring, and Rattlesnake Spring, which were essential for ranching operations in this high-desert environment.
