About this map

The settlement of House serves as the focal point of this high-plains landscape in Quay County. Located in the southwestern portion of the map, the town is structured around a small grid of streets including Main St and S Ash St. A few miles to the northwest, the House Cem stands as a significant site for local family history and genealogical research.

Alamosa Creek provides the primary topographic variation in this region, winding diagonally through the terrain. The landscape is defined by a rigid section-line road network, with routes like Quay Road 31 and Quay Road 29 connecting the dispersed agricultural operations of the eastern New Mexico plains. This survey illustrates the persistent importance of small, isolated ranching communities and their infrastructure in the modern era.
