About this map

Chaves County's arid high plains are defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, which imposes a geometric order over this segment of New Mexico's desert landscape. The terrain is marked by township and range boundaries, including t13s r29e, which organize the vast open spaces between sparse infrastructure. Human activity is largely represented by the transit corridors of Co Rd 161 and Co Rd 165, which navigate the contours of the basin floor. This modern survey illustrates the enduring reliance on these section lines for land management and navigation in an environment where natural landmarks are few and the cattle-ranching legacy of the region persists through the maintained road network and land divisions.
