2023 Map of Divine Lake

About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape at the intersection of Harding, Colfax, and Union counties. The terrain is characterized by subtle drainage patterns and isolated water features like Divine Lake and the Ramon Lakes, which provide crucial water sources in an otherwise arid region. The presence of Mofax Cem near the junction of C 37 and Rocklake Rd offers a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this corner of Northeast New Mexico. Prominent topographical landmarks such as Sugarloaf Mtn and Chateau Hill rise above the surrounding flats, while the seasonal course of Carrizo Creek winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map clearly delineates the complex patchwork of public lands and county boundaries that define local administration in this sparsely populated cattle-ranching territory.
