2013 Map of Animas

About this map

Animas serves as the central hub of this High Desert landscape in Hidalgo County, where the valley floor sits between the rising slopes of the Animas Mountains to the southeast and the Threemile Hills to the north. The settlement pattern is defined by a sparse grid of ranch and utility roads, including Continental Rd and Adams Ranch Rd, which navigate the arid terrain near the seasonal Animas River. Genealogists will find the Mid Animas Cem located west of the main town site, providing a clear point of reference for local family history. The presence of the Post Office and the intersection of NM-9 and Animas St mark the village's role as a persistent gateway in this corner of the Bootheel region. To the southwest, Limestone Hill stands as a prominent geological landmark amidst the vast township and range sections.
