About this map

Jordan and Lawson sit within a landscape of mesas and drainage basins in eastern New Mexico as documented in 2010. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, including Ragland Hill and the prominent Piñon Point overlooking the surrounding plains. The local infrastructure is characterized by an extensive grid of numbered and lettered routes, such as Quay Road 36 and Quay Road AV, which connect isolated homesteads and ranching properties like Bar B Ranch.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Browning Cemetery north of the road grid's lower reaches, while aviation interest is represented by the Akin and Akin Airport. Natural features like Honey Canyon and Bradley Creek carve through the high desert, providing a detailed look at the watercourses that have historically shaped settlement patterns in this part of Quay County. This map offers a clear view of the ranching and rural residential footprint at the start of the 21st century.
