2013 Map of Thorn Well

About this map

Lake Tank and other water management features dot this arid landscape in Doña Ana County during the early 21st century. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and administrative boundaries, including t18s r1w and t19s r1w, which define the ranching and public land divisions of the region. A network of primitive and improved routes provides access to this remote desert area, with Power Line Rd cutting a diagonal path across the landscape, following utility infrastructure. The presence of several catchment basins, such as Caliche Tank and Sump Tank, underscores the critical importance of water storage in this high-desert environment. This survey captures the intersection of traditional land survey systems with modern utility corridors and county roads like Co Road E073.
