About this map

The county boundary between Grant Co and Hidalgo Co bisects this arid New Mexico landscape, dominated by a series of drainage basins and water management features. The primary waterway, Willow Draw, is fed by the South Fork Willow Draw and flows through complex terrain marked by South Fork Willow Draw Canyon.

Evidence of ranching and land use is sparse but significant, including several reservoirs such as Harper Tank, Middle Tank, and a generic Water Tank. To manage the seasonal flow of water through these desert washes, the map identifies multiple Check Dams and a Levee near the junction of Knight Canyon. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a Trans Line suggest limited industrial activity amidst the network of canyons, including Corral Canyon and Thompson Canyon.
