2017 Map of Becker

About this map

The settlement of Becker sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape where the border of Valencia and Socorro Counties bisects the terrain. This modern survey illustrates a region defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the alluvial plains around Abo Arroyo and Goat Draw to the steep eastern slopes of the Los Pinos Mountains. Notable landmarks include the Burris Ranch Number 1 Airport in the northwest and Whiteface Mtn rising in the south. The map details a unique residential grid of winding roads and circles, such as Tierra Grande Loop and Tonada Loop, which contrast with the natural drainage patterns of Pino Draw and the isolated Blue Spring. This geography provides a clear record of 21st-century land division in a region historically shaped by rugged topography and limited water sources.
