2013 Map of Field

About this map

Field serves as the primary junction point in this corner of New Mexico, where State Route 224 and NM-288 meet near the border of Curry and Quay counties. The landscape is defined by a series of low-lying drainage patterns, most notably the seasonal courses of Blanco Creek and Frio Draw. These features suggest a high-plains environment where water management and road networks are central to the small agricultural settlements of Dunn and Hall. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Field Cemetery, situated just north of the namesake community. The presence of Curtis Airport further north highlights the importance of aviation in these dispersed rural communities. The map provides a clear view of the section-line road system, including Quay Road 34 and County Road 28, which grid the territory for ranching and farming operations.
