About this map

Childress Ranch and several family-named outposts anchor this arid landscape in Chaves County, where ranching operations rely on a network of scattered water sources. The map reveals a distribution of isolated infrastructure, including the Partnership Windmill, Big Creek Windmill, and South Windmill, which are critical for livestock and human habitation in this New Mexico environment.

Ephemeral watercourses like Middle Arroyo and Salt Creek snake through the terrain, defining the drainage patterns toward the southeast. A system of local unpaved routes, such as Draper Rd and Verbana Rd, connects remote landmarks like the Koy Ranch and Corn Ranch to the broader region. Near the western edge, the land drops into Chimney Canyon, providing a rare topographic break in the otherwise steady expanse of the plains.
