2013 Map of Abbott

About this map

Abbott serves as the primary junction on this high plains landscape, situated where NM-39 intersects with Abbott Rd. The area is characterized by a network of drainage features and depressions, most notably the seasonal waters of Big Lake and East Lake, which stand out against the surrounding terrain. Scattered small settlements and family-named locales such as Gillespie, Messick, Montoya, and Jones suggest a history of ranching and early 20th-century homesteading. The landscape is deeply etched by the winding course of Jaritas Arroyo, which meanders across several townships including t24n r24e and t25n r25e. This topographic record provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure of Colfax County, showing how local transport like Co Road C-46 and Co Road C-67 connects these isolated points across the Northeastern New Mexico plateau.
