2020 Map of Cedar Point

About this map

Mescalero Ridge rises in the southeast corner of this high plains landscape, defining the local topography near the small settlement of Cedar Point. The terrain is characterized by its arid water management features, including isolated basins like Philley Tank and Little Lucky Tank. These water sources are vital landmarks in a region largely defined by its ranching and resource-management infrastructure. The area is intersected by a network of rural routes, including the Hagerman Cutoff and Aberdeen Rd, which provide connectivity across the open Chaves County landscape. The road system, including Katrina Rd and Cindy Rd, suggests a pattern of modern land division and access to remote grazing or industrial tracts typical of the New Mexico Llano Estacado.
