About this map

Red Lake lies in the western section of this Roosevelt County landscape, a seasonal water feature in an area defined by the high plains of eastern New Mexico. The terrain is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t4s r33e and t5s r34e dictating the placement of the rural road network. This grid-heavy geography is evident in the strictly linear paths of S Roosevelt Road 18 and S Roosevelt Road 20, which carve the landscape into predictable square sections. The presence of several depressions and subtle contour variations around north-south corridors like S Roosevelt Rd Y and S Roosevelt Rd X indicates the natural drainage patterns that persist despite the superimposed human geometry of the range roads.
