About this map

White Lakes and its surrounding drainage systems define this high-desert landscape in Santa Fe County during the early 21st century. The map depicts a territory shaped by ranching interests and water management, with the Hagerman Ranch and Snow Ranch serving as primary landmarks in the southern portion of the quadrangle. These homesteads are situated near ephemeral water sources like Spring Tank and the seasonal paths of Armijo Draw and Kinsell Draw.

Transportation throughout this sparsely populated area relies on a network of unpaved corridors, including the aptly named Rough Rd and the more established White Lakes Rd. To the north, the winding course of Arroyo Jara cuts through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that dictate the placement of roads like County Rd 24C and County Rd 16B. The map provides a clear record of land use where large ranching tracts meet the arid geography of the American Southwest.
