2010 Map of House

About this map

Alamosa Creek winds through this section of the High Plains, carving a shallow path across a landscape defined by an orderly grid of rural roads in Quay County. The settlement of House serves as the primary community hub, featuring the House Post Office and the nearby House Cemetery. This 2010 survey illustrates the sparse, ranching-oriented settlement patterns of eastern New Mexico, where small named locales like Upton and Bass represent historical gathering points along the extensive network of routes such as Quay Road BE and Quay Road BC. The map provides a detailed view of property access and rural infrastructure at the start of the 21st century, showing how the environment is managed through a system of numbered and lettered Quay Roads that facilitate travel across the wide, open terrain.
