2020 Map of Afton NW

About this map

Las Cruces boundary lines extend into the northern reaches of this desert landscape, where the terrain is defined by the organized grid of the Public Land Survey System. The map highlights the intersection of several townships, including t24s r1w and t25s r1w, illustrating how modern administrative boundaries are superimposed over the arid basin floor. Transportation across this open expanse is limited to a few key thoroughfares, most notably Afton Rd and county routes like Co Rd B006. These roads provide critical access through the desert, following the subtle contour changes of the Chihuahuan Desert environment. The sparse distribution of named features emphasizes the vast, open character of the region southwest of the main metropolitan center during the early twenty-first century.
