2017 Map of Black Point

About this map

Cloverdale occupies the center of this remote New Mexican landscape, where the high desert meets the northern reaches of the Coronado National Forest. This 2017 survey shows a region defined by complex drainage systems and the livestock economy, evidenced by numerous water catchments like Black Mountain Tank and Windy Miller Tank. The terrain is framed by significant peaks, including Kilmer Peak and the namesake Black Point, with the Peloncillo Mountains and Guadalupe Mountains providing the broader topographical context. For genealogists and local historians, the Cloverdale Cem and the nearby Cloverdale Spring along Cloverdale Cr anchor the map as essential landmarks of this isolated community near the bootheel. The distribution of named tanks and ranch roads like Battallion Rd suggests a landscape managed for cattle and conservation at the edge of the wilderness.
