2023 Map of Akela

About this map

The high desert landscape of Akela and Akela Flats is defined by a rigorous grid of named residential and ranch roads that stretch across the New Mexico terrain. This network, including uniquely named thoroughfares such as La Susida Rd, El Bordo Rd SE, and Boothill Rd SE, suggests a planned desert development or rural settlement pattern centered along the Interstate corridor. The map labels reflect the local flora and geography with routes like Cholla Rd, Saguaro Rd, and Prickly Pear Rd. The southern reach of the quadrangle includes Cam Nueve, indicating the expansion of rural addresses away from the primary transport arteries into the open flats of the Chihuahuan Desert environment.
