2017 Map of Carrizozo West

About this map

Carrizozo sits at the eastern edge of this landscape, serving as a hub where the grid of town streets meets the open desert terrain of Lincoln County. The town's layout is defined by thoroughfares like Central Ave and Airport St, supporting the local infrastructure around the Carrizozo Municipal Airport. To the west, the land is marked by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage features, including the prominent White Oaks Draw, Nogal Draw, and Harkey Draw. These ephemeral paths, alongside isolated water sources like Scott Spring and Lower Coyote Spring, illustrate the vital importance of water management in this arid New Mexico environment. The presence of Evergreen Cem on the outskirts of the settlement offers a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in the region. This survey captures the intersection of organized municipal growth and the expansive, natural drainage systems of the high desert basin.
