2020 Map of Borica

About this map

The settlement of Borica sits at the heart of this Guadalupe County landscape, where the high plains of eastern New Mexico meet a network of ephemeral drainages. The topography is defined by the winding course of Carrizo Creek as it carves through the terrain, supported by the local engineering of the Borica Dam. This 2020 survey reveals a sparse but deliberate network of rural corridors, including Hughes Rd and Nopal Rd, which trace the land's contours between established township and range boundaries like t6n r21e. The presence of named water features such as Puerto Cr suggests the vital importance of seasonal water management in this arid ranching environment. For those tracing the evolution of Guadalupe County, this map provides a detailed view of how contemporary infrastructure and historical land divisions continue to shape the region's character.
