2023 Map of Albert

About this map

Albert sits at the junction of Tequesquite Creek and Carrizo Creek in this high-plains landscape of northeastern New Mexico. The geography is defined by a network of drainage systems cutting through the mesa lands, most notably the deep incisions of Carrizo Canyon, Plum Rincon Canyon, and Lalo Canyon. These watercourses converge near the settlement, suggesting a historical reliance on these rare perennial or seasonal water sources for ranching and transport. To the south, the Tequesquite Ranch Airport and Tequesquite Rd highlight the modernization of this rural area, while Revuel Springs and the expansive Mesa Quitaras to the east illustrate the enduring natural landmarks that have governed movement through this terrain for generations. The map provides a look at the contemporary township and range system, showing the section lines that still organize this ranching country.
