2020 Map of Claunch

About this map

The settlement of Claunch serves as the primary focal point of this 2020 landscape, situated at the boundary of Socorro Co and Lincoln Co. This high-desert terrain is defined by dry washes and strategic water improvements like Victor Tank, which are essential features in this arid environment. The map details a transition from the level flats near the townsite to the rising elevation of Rough Mtn in the northeast. Transportation and infrastructure are central to the area's layout, marked by the long stretch of Pipeline Rd and a network of county routes including Co Rd 208 and Co Rd A206. To the southeast, the land is scored by natural drainage features such as Sacate Draw, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the central New Mexico plains.
