About this map

Hurley and its neighboring settlements define the eastern edge of this Grant County landscape, where the high desert meets a complex network of drainage arroyos. The map illustrates a clear transition from the industrial and residential grid of the town site—complete with street names like Aztec Ave and Diaz Ave—to the open, rolling terrain dominated by Lone Mountain. Three distinct burial sites, including the Old Hurley Cem and Bayard Cem, provide essential data for genealogists tracing early families in the region.

Water management and infrastructure are central to the area's development, as seen in the paths of the Rio de Arenas and San Vicente Arroyo which wind southward toward the Grant County Airport. This 2023 survey documents the intersection of modern transportation routes like Airport Rd with the established drainage basins of Pipe Line Draw and Maudes Canyon, reflecting the area's ongoing relationship with its arid environment.
