2013 Map of Bascom Camp

About this map

Canadian River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, carving a deep course through the mesas of eastern New Mexico. The confluence where Pajarito Creek meets the river is the central geographic anchor for this 2013 survey, which documents a region defined by its ranching history and modern water management. Along the eastern edge of the map, the waters of the Ute Reservoir reach into the canyons, marking the boundary between San Miguel County and Quay County. Small landmarks such as Bascom Camp and Bascom Pens indicate the ongoing agricultural use of the land, while the small settlement of Curtis sits near the eastern section lines. The map captures the intersection of natural watercourses like Carros Cr with the rigid township and range lines of t13n r31e and t12n r31e, providing a precise look at the rural road network including Quay Road 72 and Quay Road AJ.
