2010 Map of Clapham

About this map

Pinabetes Creek and its many winding tributaries define this portion of Union County, New Mexico, illustrating a landscape primarily dedicated to ranching at the beginning of the 21st century. The map centers on the small community of Clapham, where County Rd C029 and Clapham Rd converge. Further north, the settlement of Thomas sits along County Hwy C-042, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural territory. The map is notably dotted with established agricultural holdings such as Sowers Ranch in the northeast corner and Holland Ranch to the southeast, emphasizing the enduring pastoral economy of the High Plains. Surface water features like Garcia Creek and Leon Creek cut through the terrain, providing essential drainage in this arid region where the road network follows the section lines of the traditional township grid.
