2020 Map of Bible Top Butte

About this map

Clayton Lake sits as the central geographic focal point of this high plains landscape, where the seasonal drainage of Seneca Cr carves its way through the northeastern corner of New Mexico. The terrain is defined by distinct volcanic and erosional landmarks, most notably the namesake Bible Top Butte and the broad elevation of Rabbit Ear Mesa to the east. This 2020 survey captures a region primarily organized by large-scale ranching and land management, evidenced by the grid of township and range lines like t27n r34e and a network of rural routes including Vaquero Rd and Lake Rd. The water systems, including Alamos Cr and Apache Cr, illustrate the subtle but vital riparian corridors that have dictated movement and settlement in this semi-arid portion of Union County for generations.
