2017 Map of Hassell

About this map

Hassell sits on the high plains of Quay County, defined by a dramatic escarpment that separates the flat eastern terrain from the lower Gerhardt Valley to the west. This landscape is marked by the rugged descent from Lone Mesa, where the headwaters of Truchas Cr and Alamosa Cr begin to carve through the mesa edge. The map captures a quiet ranching and farming district, where the settlement pattern is sparse and oriented around a network of rural roads like Q R 31. Genealogy researchers will find several small burial sites preserved on this 2017 survey, including Hassell Cem, House Cem, Lone Mesa Cem, and Gerhardt Cem, which serve as lasting markers of the families who settled this corner of New Mexico.
