About this map

Carrizozo serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape, where the town grid meets the intersection of Us-54 N and Us-380 E. The terrain rises sharply to the east toward the foothills of the Lincoln National Forest, dominated by the heights of Carrizo Mtn and Baxter Mtn. This geography is defined by its water management, evidenced by numerous historical water sources such as Manchester Spring, Carrizozo Spring, and Fetters Spring.

A network of local ranching and residential roads, including Valle Del Sol and Gopher Gulch Loop, weaves through the basin, while named windmills like Mayer Windmill and Moss Windmill indicate the infrastructure necessary for life in this arid region. The drainage patterns of Tortolita Cr and Nogal Cr trace the natural path of runoff from the canyons, providing a detailed look at the rural outskirts of Robsart and Spencer.
