About this map

Taylor Well anchors this portion of Doña Ana County, sitting at the junction of Taylor Well Rd and Co Rd E082. The landscape is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features, critical for ranching and survival in the arid terrain of southern New Mexico. Named catchments like Brockoway Tank, Warner Tank, and Pearson Tank are distributed across the township blocks, illustrating how the natural drainage of seasonal watercourses like Bear Cr was harnessed.

The southern edge of the survey shows the transition from open range into a more structured road network near the contemporary boundary of development, featuring residential-style streets such as Doubletree St and Singletree. Between these points, the map preserves the names of specific grazing lands and flats, such as Ragged Tank Flat, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and land use patterns of the mid-2010s.
