2020 Map of Gage

About this map

The Victorio Mountains dominate the western landscape of this high desert region in Luna County, providing a stark topographical contrast to the surrounding flats. Centered on the settlement of Gage, the map documents a corridor of transit and ranching infrastructure defined by the northern passage of Interstate 10 and its associated I-10 Frontage Rd SW. Seasonal watercourses like Walnut Cr, Cow Springs Draw, and Seventysix Draw reveal the drainage patterns of the arid terrain, while the presence of the CCC Tank points to historical water management efforts in the area. Local travel is facilitated by a network of rural routes, including Phillips Ranch Rd and Casa Blanca Rd SW, which connect the scattered points of interest across the township and range lines of the Chihuahuan Desert.
