2023 Map of Canada Colorado

About this map

Alamogordo Creek winds through the high plains of East-Central New Mexico, carving a path across a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and remote ranching infrastructure. This area of the Pecos River basin is marked by several significant drainages, including the Arroyo Colorado and the eponymous Cañada Colorado, which flow through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by broad mesas, most notably the Mesita del Anil in the southeast corner near the border of Guadalupe and De Baca counties. Human presence is sparse, tied to a network of county roads like Bobcat Rd and Ranger Rd. The Alamo Cem stands as a quiet marker of local history in the northeast, providing a genealogical anchor for families who once settled this arid region.
