2017 Map of Animas

About this map

Animas sits at the heart of this high-desert basin, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands of Hidalgo County. The community is defined by a systematic grid of rural roads, including Lincoln Rd and Continental Rd, which provide access to the expansive range land between the Animas River and the towering peaks of the Animas Mountains to the southeast. Local history is anchored at the Middle Animas Cem, located west of the main settlement along Rolls Rd. The terrain is marked by significant geographic landmarks such as Threemile Hills in the north and Limestone Hill to the southwest. This modern survey reflects the enduring spatial organization of the valley, where infrastructure like Gas Line Rd and numerous county routes support the remote residents of this corner of New Mexico.
