2017 Map of Acme

About this map

The Pecos River carves through the western edge of this Chaves County landscape, where the settlement of Acme sits along a primary corridor in the high plains. This 2017 topographic study documents a region defined by its drainage patterns and rural infrastructure, most notably where the Bob Crosby Draw and Lloyds Canyon descend toward the river valley. The Bob Crosby Bridge provides a vital crossing point, while the presence of the Frazier Cem north of the main settlement offers a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in the area. A network of named ranch roads, including Aztec Rd and Magdalena Rd, reveals the enduring survey lines and land use patterns of the eastern New Mexico territory.
