2013 Map of Cienega School

About this map

Crow Flats and the surrounding desert landscape of northern Otero County define this corner of the New Mexico borderlands. The map highlights the sparse rural infrastructure typical of the region, anchored by the Cienega School and the nearby Cienega Cem. These landmarks, positioned along NM-506, represent the social and civic heart of a ranching community where water management is critical, evidenced by features like Holley Tank. To the east, the terrain transitions into a series of dramatic geographic formations including West Dog Canyon and Little Humphrey Canyon. The layout of local roads, such as CO Road G006 and CO Road G008, illustrates the remote connectivity required to navigate this portion of the Tularosa Basin and the foothills leading toward the Guadalupe Mountains.
