2010 Map of Amistad

About this map

Amistad serves as the primary focal point of this Union County survey, centered around the Amistad Post Office and the nearby Amistad Cemetery. The settlement pattern follows a grid-like network of county roads, such as County Hwy C-114 and County Rd-C115, which connect the small community of Miller to the surrounding high plains. The landscape is defined by intermittent water sources and depressions, including the named Maestas Lake and Salt Lake to the north, while the drainage of Monia Creek cuts across the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. This 2010 topographic representation illustrates a ranching and farming landscape where the primary infrastructure consists of localized thoroughfares and scattered homesteads, providing a clear record of rural land use in the northeastern corner of New Mexico during the early 21st century.
