2020 Map of Belen SW

About this map

Rio Puerco defines the eastern edge of this arid landscape, winding through a complex system of drainage channels. The high ground is dominated by Montano Flats, a broad plateau dissected by several significant ephemeral watercourses. To the north, Pedro Draw feeds into the main river channel, while the southern reaches are marked by the branching paths of Arroyo Alamito and Mariano Draw. This 2020 survey highlights the boundary between Valencia and Socorro counties, showing a region largely defined by its natural topography and the watershed of Arroyo Comanche. The map provides a precise look at the Public Land Survey System grid, illustrating how township and range lines intersect with the meandering path of the river.
