About this map

Alamogordo Creek winds across this high plains landscape of east-central New Mexico, defining a terrain shaped by wide drainages and isolated family ranching operations. The map illustrates a network of rural roads such as CO Road 2 and Anderson Rd that connect dispersed headquarters like the Claunch Ranch and Alamo Ranch. A small but significant marker of local history is found at the Alamo Cem, located near the intersection of several local tracks.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the boundary between Guadalupe Co and De Baca Co, where the landscape transitions toward the Arroyo Colorado. Distinctive landforms such as Mesita del Anil rise above the surrounding flats, while the namesake Cañada Colorado drainage cuts through the eastern sections. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the modern ranching footprint and the persistent watercourses that dictate life in this arid region.
