2023 Map of Wright Ranch

About this map

Mail Carrier Lake and Dipping Vat Lake sit at the center of this rangeland in eastern New Mexico, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage draws and livestock watering points. The terrain is marked by seasonal watercourses like Ragland Draw, Burro Draw, and Indian Draw, which cut through the high plains. Movement through the area is facilitated by primitive routes such as Yeso Creek Rd and Co Rd 1-51. The high density of named water tanks, including Hub Corn Tank, Panama Martin Tank, and Dunlap Camp Tank, highlights the importance of managed water for ranching operations in this arid environment. This 2023 survey illustrates the continued reliance on these specific geographic landmarks for navigation and land management across the township and range divisions.
