About this map

Carrizozo serves as the focal point of this Lincoln County survey, concentrated along its eastern margin. The settlement pattern is defined by a traditional grid including Central Ave, Drexel Blvd, and Airport St, anchored by the Lincoln County Courthouse. To the north, Evergreen Cem provides a point of genealogical interest at the edge of the town limits.

The surrounding arid landscape is punctuated by a network of ephemeral watercourses and vital watering points such as White Oaks Draw, Nogal Cr, and Harkey Draw. These drainages, along with scattered water sources like Bloom Spring, Lower Coyote Spring, and Scott Spring, dictate the historical movement and land use across the high desert terrain. The inclusion of the Carrizozo Municipal Airport reflects the town's role as a regional hub in the modern era.
