2020 Map of Cuervo

About this map

Cuervo sits along the transit corridor of Interstate 40, centered in a landscape of dramatic mesas and drainage basins. The settlement is flanked by Cuervo Mesa to the east and the rising summit of Cuervito Peak to the west. Local history is anchored by the Cuervo Cem and San Cristobal Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in Guadalupe County. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses including Cuervo Cr, Cuervito Cr, and Gonzales Cr, which carve through the high plains toward the Pajarito Cr. To the south, the flat-topped Mesita Contadero stands as a prominent landmark. This modern survey illustrates how traditional ranch roads like Latigo Rd and Mesa Del Gato Rd continue to navigate the township and range divisions of this expansive ranching country.
