2013 Map of Carrizozo West

About this map

Carrizozo sits at the intersection of high-desert infrastructure and unique geological formations, serving as a primary rail and highway hub in the Tularosa Basin. The landscape is defined by the extensive volcanic flow known as The Malpais, which dominates the central and western terrain. This survey provides a clear view of the town's grid, including the Po and Evergreen Cem, while tracing the vital water sources that have historically sustained life in this arid environment. Numerous natural water points are identified across the draws, including Bloom Spring, Lower Coyote Spring, and Scott Spring. Transport routes like Us-380 E and Us-54 N converge near the Carrizozo Municipal Airport, illustrating the modern connectivity of this high-elevation settlement. The topography transitions from the open flats of White Oaks Draw to the more varied drainage systems of Nogal Cr and Harkey Draw.
