2017 Map of Guy

About this map

Guy sits at the center of this northeastern New Mexico landscape, serving as a focal point for a region defined by ranching and high-plains drainage. The map documents the intricate network of water sources essential to this arid environment, including Fischer Spring and Carpenter Springs, which feed into the intermittent flows of Carrizozo Cr and Corriumpa Cr. The topography is marked by named geological features such as Devils Wash Basin and Miller Gap, alongside numerous family-named canyons like Hardesty Canyon and Dickey Canyon. For those tracing local families, the presence of the Rivera Cem and Padilla Cem offers tangible connections to the early residents of this isolated part of Union County. The road network, primarily composed of routes like Lake Rd and Willett Rd, follows the natural contours of the canyons and basins, illustrating the enduring patterns of movement in this territory.
