2013 Map of Becker

About this map

The Valencia Co Socorro Co line bisects this landscape, where the high desert terrain meets the eastern slopes of the Los Pinos Mountains. In the northwest, the settlement of Becker sits near the tracks, while ranching legacies are visible at West and Pyle Ranch and the Burris Ranch Nr 1 Airport. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems and vertical rises, most notably Whiteface Mtn and the deep cut of Abo Canyon. Modern residential development is evident in the sprawling network of circular drives and loops like Diablo Loop and Tierra Grande Loop north of NM-47. This transition from traditional ranching lands to planned communities is a primary characteristic of the area, as seen in the extensive street grid of Rio Communities Blvd contrasted with the remote Goat Ranch and the rugged Pino Draw.
