2010 Map of Guy

About this map

Guy sits at a crossroads in the High Plains of northeastern New Mexico, where the vast ranching landscape is defined by deep drainages and intermittent water sources. The area's settlement history is etched into the terrain through family-named landmarks and secluded burial grounds like the Rivera Cemetery and Padilla Cemetery, both located south of the main settlement near the winding path of Corrumpa Creek. The topography is marked by a complex system of canyons, including Dickey Canyon, Hardesty Canyon, and Bland Canyon, which carve through the high ground north of Miller Gap. These natural features, alongside Fischer Spring and Carpenter Springs, illustrate the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. The network of county roads, such as County Hwy B-044 and County Rd-B046, connects these remote sites, following the natural contours of the Devils Wash Basin and the surrounding canyon country.
