2023 Map of Gage

About this map

Gage serves as the central point of interest in this high-desert landscape, situated along the primary transportation corridor of Interstate 10. The terrain is defined by the sharp relief of the Victoria Mountains to the west, which rise abruptly from the surrounding alluvial plains. This area of Luna County is characterized by ephemeral drainage patterns, with Walnut Creek and Cow Springs Draw trending toward the northeast, while Seventysix Draw marks the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Local ranching and land management history is evident through features like CCC Tank, which points to mid-century water infrastructure development. A network of rural routes, including Phillips Ranch Rd and Casa Blanca Rd SW, provides access to the isolated sections of the basin between the mountain ranges.
