2017 Map of Ima NW

About this map

Luciano Mesa dominates the northeastern landscape of this New Mexico quadrangle, where the high desert terrain transitions into the distinct geological features of Bull Canyon. The map reveals a land defined by its drainages, notably Bull Canyon Cr and Alamogordo Cr, which carve through the arid expanses toward the Alamogordo Valley. Human imprint on the area is marked by a network of ranch and back-country roads, including Major Rd and the evocative Moonglow Trl. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of Ruth Cem provides a specific point of reference in an otherwise sparsely populated section of the county. The survey also captures the intersection of several township and range lines, such as t9n r26e and t8n r26e, illustrating the foundational Public Land Survey System structure of this region.
