2017 Map of Gage

About this map

Victorio Mountains rise prominently in the western portion of this high-desert landscape, a stark contrast to the surrounding alluvial plains of Luna County. The small settlement of Gage serves as a key waypoint along the corridor shared by Interstate 10 and U.S. Route 70, tracing a historic path of transcontinental transit. This 2017 survey details a network of ranching and access roads, including Phillips Ranch Rd and Casa Blanca Rd Sw, which crisscross the arid terrain toward water features like Walnut Cr and Cow Springs Draw. The inclusion of the CCC Tank in the southeast quadrant reflects the lasting impact of early 20th-century water management infrastructure in the American Southwest, where such landmarks remain vital markers for navigation and land use.
