About this map

Arroyo Del Alamo cuts through the high plains of Harding County in this 2013 topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by ranching life and sparse water sources. The map centers on David Hill and the nearby David Cem, markers of local heritage situated near the intersection of NM-39 and NM-102. This arid environment is sustained by named watering points such as Tejano Spring, McIntosh Spring, and Parras Spring, which have long been essential to the region's cattle operations.

Evidence of established land use is visible through several named windmill sites and camps, including Jake Windmill and the Bar T Cross Camp. The terrain varies from the deep incisions of Ojos Canyon to the flatter expanses of the eastern townships. Small outposts like Arbuckle, Shrum, and Waldron appear along the local road network, which includes Pajarito RD and Tequesquite LN, providing a clear record of rural infrastructure and family-named landmarks in the early 21st century.
