2020 Map of Abbott

About this map

The high plains of Colfax County near Abbott are defined by a network of intermittent watercourses and scattered ranch roads. This landscape is shaped by the Jaritas Arroyo, which meanders across the central terrain, while Chico Cr and Sauz Cr drain the surrounding prairie. The area’s ranching character is evident through descriptive road names like Feed Rd, Flying H Rd, and Road Runner Rd. Shallow depressions in the plateau form significant local water features, notably Big Lake and East Lake, which serve as vital landmarks in this expansive livestock-grazing country. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System grid, illustrating the township and range boundaries that have organized this part of New Mexico since early settlement.
