2020 Map of Jordan

About this map

Jordan sits at the center of this high plains landscape in Quay County, where the Llano Estacado meets the dramatic breaks of the Canadian River valley. The terrain is defined by a sharp escarpment that separates the flat southern tablelands from the deeply incised canyons to the north. Features such as Ish Canyon, Honey Canyon, and Rincon Canyon carve into the caprock below prominent landmarks like Piñon Point and Sand Mtn. To the south, the land levels out into a grid of ranch roads, including Quay Rd Ave and Pasture Rd, which service the remote homesteads and agricultural operations of the region. Local history is anchored by the Browning Cem and the small landing strip at Akin and Akin Airport, reflecting the isolation and necessity of flight and community in this part of Eastern New Mexico.
