2023 Map of Three Rivers

About this map

Three Rivers serves as the primary focal point of this Otero County survey, situated where the high desert meets the western slopes of the Sacramento Mountains. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring numerous draws and seasonal water sources like Sand Well Draw, Crawford Draw, and Rocky Arroyo. These features, alongside named springs such as Falls Ranch Spring and Aguilar Spring, illustrate the critical importance of water management in this arid environment, further evidenced by the presence of livestock-related infrastructure like Chosa Tank and Boone Draw Tank.
