2010 Map of Canada Colorado

About this map

Alamogordo Creek and the ephemeral drainage of Arroyo Colorado define this high plains landscape of Guadalupe County. The area is characterized by a sparse network of ranching homesteads connected by unpaved county routes, reflecting a late 20th and early 21st-century agricultural economy. Notable family-named landholdings include Claunch Ranch, Alamo Ranch, Avant Ranch, and Killough Ranch. These properties are tied to a geography where water and terrain dictate settlement, seen in the way roads like County Rd-2 and County Rd-2R skirt the drainage basins. Near the eastern edge, the Alamo Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for genealogists, while the prominent Mesita del Anil rises in the southeast, serving as a distinct natural landmark amidst the sweeping cattle country of Cañada Colorado.
