2017 Map of Carne

About this map

The southern foothills of the Cookes Range descend into the high desert plains of Luna County, where the settlement of Carne sits along a primary east-west transportation corridor. The landscape is defined by a dense grid of residential and ranch roads north of the interstate, including Geronimo Rd, Eldorado Rd Ne, and the playfully named Poco Loco Rd Ne. These roads imply a transition from open range to subdivided land use near the southern edge of the sheet. To the south, the community of Lewis Flats and the Amapoca terrain feature sit near the intersection of several county roads. A distinct modern landmark, the FAA Air Traffic Control Lock, stands out as a specialized infrastructure point within this desert environment, supporting regional aviation far beyond the residential clusters of Huerfeno Rd and Mundo Rd.
