2023 Map of Gacho Hill NW

About this map

Marino Draw meanders through this high-altitude landscape of eastern New Mexico, defining the drainage patterns of an area marked by its remote character and grid-based land management. This portion of Guadalupe County is surveyed under the Public Land Survey System, showing the transitions between t3n r16e, t3n r17e, t2n r16e, and t2n r17e. The map documents a sparse network of rural transit corridors, including the primary north-south route of Co Rd 3k and its tributary, Co Rd 3ka, which provides access to the interior sections of the township. In the southern reaches, Jacklope Rd cuts across the terrain, reflecting the modern pastoral and ranching infrastructure that supports this semi-arid region. The topography is defined by subtle elevation changes and depressions, characteristic of the plateau country between major river basins.
