2017 Map of Duoro

About this map

Duoro serves as the primary point of reference in this landscape of the Pecos Valley region, where the high plains of Eastern New Mexico meet the undulating terrain of the Llano Estacado. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the transition across the Guadalupe and De Baca County line, documenting a remote environment defined by its section-line roads and sparse infrastructure. The network of rural routes, including Co Rd 3G, Co Rd 3H, and Agua Buena Rd, illustrates the persistent land-use patterns of modern ranching. This map provides a precise look at the topographical contours and drainage patterns that dictate life in this arid region, showing how the local road system, like Loop Rd, navigates the subtle elevation changes of the high desert plains.
