2013 Map of Lake Armijo

About this map

Eagle Peak rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert region of western New Mexico, where the landscape is defined by drainage systems and seasonal water sources. The map captures a transition between the expansive drainage of Nations Draw and the winding course of Largo Cr. This area of Catron County is sparsely populated, yet characterized by essential water management features like Eagle Tank and the titular Lake Armijo. A network of local infrastructure, including CO Road A034 and NM-601, connects these remote reaches. The topography reveals a series of basins and depressions, including Jeremillas Lake, which likely serve as focal points for cattle ranching and local land use in an arid environment where water is the primary architect of the settlement pattern.
