Alamosa Creek winds through the southeastern plains of New Mexico, carving a path through an arid landscape defined by its grid of rural ranch roads. In the northern reaches of this territory, the small settlements of Smith and Ferguson sit near the border between Quay and Roosevelt counties. The map captures the infrastructure of the High Plains, where long, straight thoroughfares like Quay Road 25 and N Roosevelt Road 22 facilitate travel between remote ranching properties. Local landmarks such as Hill Ranch Rd and Mitchell Rd signify the presence of established cattle operations in this open country. The drainage patterns of the creek and its intermittent tributaries provide the primary topographic relief in an otherwise expansive, organized survey of the western range.
