2013 Map of Vanderwagen Draw

About this map

Vanderwagen Draw and the adjacent White Canyon define this section of the New Mexico landscape, where the high desert terrain is carved by seasonal drainage systems. The map illustrates a complex network of ephemeral waterways including Bosson Wash and Oak Wash, which direct the flow of water through the arid plateau. Human presence is marked primarily by a grid of rural routes and service roads that navigate the varying elevations. Notable transportation corridors such as NM-602 and Indian Service Route 4 provide access to the interior, while local thoroughfares like Bosson Wash Rd and Stonehenge Rd connect the scattered land parcels. The prominence of Dubois Hill serves as a primary vertical landmark in a region otherwise characterized by deep draws like Y Unit Draw.
