2023 Map of Ima NW

About this map

Alamogordo Valley and the high plateau of Luciano Mesa define this high-plains landscape where the borders of Guadalupe and Quay counties meet. This survey traces the drainage of Alamogordo Creek and Bull Canyon Creek as they cut through the arid terrain. Human impact on the land is marked by small settlements like Bull Canyon and rural landmarks such as Ruth Cem. A network of local corridors, including Major Rd, Valley Rd, and Anderson Rd, provides the primary access across the sectional grid. The map illustrates the sparse, ranching-oriented settlement pattern characteristic of eastern New Mexico, where geographic features like the mesas dictate the placement of roads and homesteads.
