2023 Map of Augustine Well

About this map

The high-elevation plains of the San Agustin region are captured in this 2023 survey, centered on the boundary between Catron and Socorro counties. The terrain is characterized by the broad, open basin of the plains, punctuated by features like Clements Lake and the shifting elevations of the Sand Hills in the northeast corner. This map documents a transitional landscape where modern infrastructure meets historic travel routes. While modern Highway 60 cuts across the northern sections, the trace of Old Hwy 60 remains visible as it winds through the center of the sheet, providing a clear record of how the transportation network has shifted over decades of development in this part of New Mexico.
