2020 Map of Gacho Hill

About this map

Joffre stands as the primary named settlement in this high-plains landscape of eastern New Mexico. The terrain is defined by subtle elevation changes and broad drainage patterns, with the prominent Gacho Hill serving as a central landmark for the surrounding territory. This 2020 edition documents the contemporary road network through Guadalupe County, anchored by the diagonal transit of Highway 285, which cuts northwest to southeast across the township lines of t3n r17e and t2n r18e. Local travel is facilitated by a grid of rural routes including Jackalope Rd and Rica Rd, tracing the paths of ranchers and residents through the open country. The mapping of these county roads and named hills provides a detailed reference for the modern geography of this sparsely populated region.
