About this map

Jordan sits at the junction of Quay Road 37 and Quay Road AV, serving as a central point in this rural Quay County landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic escarpments and canyons that break the high plains, including Ish Canyon, Honey Canyon, and Rincon Canyon. These geographical features transition from lower elevations in the south to prominent overlooks such as Piñon Point, Sand Mtn, and Ragland Hill to the north and east.

Local infrastructure is largely tied to ranching and small-scale aviation, evidenced by the Bar B Ranch and the Akin and Akin Airport. For those researching family history in this corner of New Mexico, the Browning Cem and the settlement at Lawson provide specific points of interest. The area's drainage is represented by Bradley Cr, which flows through the northwestern portion of the map, while a rigid grid of county roads, such as Quay Road 34 and Quay Road 42, connects these remote landholdings.
