About this map

Pyramid Mountain dominates the northeast corner of this landscape in Quay County, rising sharply above the surrounding plains. The terrain is defined by expansive level stretches like Ogle Flat and West Flat, which are dissected by a network of drainage systems. Water sources, vital in this arid region, are marked by Horn Spring and several seasonal watercourses, including Charco Creek, Adobe Walls Creek, and Garcia Creek.

Evidence of local history and ranching-era infrastructure is sparse but significant, anchored by the West Cem located near the center of the survey. The grid of the Public Land Survey System is clearly visible, with section lines and townships such as t9n r28e and t8n r29e overlaying the natural features. Transportation is limited to rural routes like Quay Road 43, highlighting the quiet, open character of this part of eastern New Mexico.
