2020 Map of Animas

About this map

Animas sits as the central hub of this high-desert landscape in the southwestern corner of New Mexico. The settlement is positioned near the Animas River, surrounded by a vast network of section roads that provide access to the surrounding ranchlands and mountains. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations, including the Threemile Hills to the north, Limestone Hill to the west, and the northern reaches of the Animas Mountains in the southeast corner. Transportation and utility infrastructure are prominent features of the area, visible through the Thurmond Airport and the long diagonal of Gas Line Rd. A dense grid of local roads, such as Eldorado Rd and Antelope Crossing Rd, suggests a landscape partitioned for grazing and rural habitation, reflecting the modern agricultural character of Hidalgo County.
