2023 Map of Colmor

About this map

Colmor sits as the primary point of settlement in this northern New Mexico landscape, positioned precisely where the high plains meet the transition into more broken terrain. The map captures a critical water management corridor, featuring the Charette Lake Canal to the north and the natural drainage systems of Sweetwater Creek and Ocate Creek. These waterways have long defined the agricultural potential and ranching boundaries of the region. Local history and genealogy researchers will find the Colmor Cem located just west of the main settlement, providing a vital point of reference for families tied to the early ranching history of both Colfax and Mora counties. The road network, including Colmor Rd and Co Rd C-72, traces established routes that connect these high-desert outposts, reflecting the enduring geography of the New Mexico interior.
