2023 Map of Guy

About this map

The settlement of Guy serves as a central point in this rural landscape of northeastern New Mexico, where the plains are deeply incised by a network of dry washes and canyons. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Miller Gap and through several named drainages including Peacock Canyon, Hardesty Canyon, and Turkey Canyon. Permanent water sources such as Fischer Spring and Carpenter Springs provide vital points of reference in this arid environment. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, specifically Rivera Cem and Padilla Cem, which are situated near the seasonal flows of Carrizozo Creek and Corrumpa Creek. The map detail captures a sophisticated local road network, including Lake Rd and Pacheco Rd, that connects isolated ranching and homesteading tracts across this portion of Union County.
