2017 Map of Blaines Lake

About this map

Agua Fria Cr winds through this high-desert landscape in western New Mexico, carving a path across various township boundaries. The terrain is characterized by significant landforms such as the Cottonwood Canyon in the north and the expansive Cimarron Mesa to the south. This 2017 survey shows a region where traditional ranching infrastructure meets modern rural subdivision, as evidenced by the presence of McKinley Ranch Rd alongside newer local developments like Deer Cir and Red Hawk Way. The namesake Blaines Lake serves as a central hydrological point in a region primarily defined by its drainage basins and sectional divisions. For local historians and researchers, the map provides a clear view of the road network and topographic shifts that have shaped land use in this part of Catron County.
