2013 Map of Gage NW

About this map

The high desert landscape where Grant Co meets Luna Co is defined by the stark rise of the Victorio Mountains in the northeast and the passage of Interstate 10. The settlement of Wilna sits along this major transportation corridor, which cuts across a terrain marked by ephemeral water features like China Draw. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern utility of the land through infrastructure like Pipeline Rd and the Pipeline Tank, which support water management and transport across the arid basin. Historically, the area represents a critical transit point for those moving through the southern New Mexico corridor between Deming and Lordsburg, where the vast, open spaces are navigated by a network of county routes such as Co Road C062 and Co Road D001.
