2020 Map of Cedarvale

About this map

Cedarvale serves as the primary landmark in this high-desert landscape of central New Mexico, where the plains of the Estancia Valley begin to rise toward the wooded slopes of the Cibola National Forest. The transition from open range to mountainous terrain is defined by prominent elevations like North Peak and Cougar Mtn, which dominate the southern half of the map. This area is characterized by its isolation and reliance on localized water sources such as Little Cougar Tank and Shartzer Tank. The rectilinear grid of rural routes, including Granquivera Rd and Anza Rd, reflects the organized land partitioning common in the West, even as it navigates the complex topography of the Torrance and Lincoln County line.
