2013 Map of Capitol Dome

About this map

Deming anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, where residential streets like Pear St SE and Atlantic Way SE give way to a structured grid of rural roads and desert terrain. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the northern reaches of the Florida Mountains, a topographic complex featuring prominent landmarks such as Capitol Dome, Dragon Ridge, and Chimney Point. These peaks rise sharply above the Capitol Dome Draw and Mexican Canyon, creating a stark transition from the level basin floor to the high desert heights. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern intersection of suburban expansion and the high-desert environment, where family-named landmarks like Navajo Bill Hill sit adjacent to contemporary developments. The road network, including the evocative Whiskey Springs Rd and Stagecoach Trl SE, suggests the historical routes that once traversed this part of Luna County, now formalized into a residential and agricultural grid.
