Lanark and Vevay sit at the intersection of a vast desert landscape and a historic transportation corridor in southern New Mexico. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a sparsely populated region of Doña Ana County defined by long, straight desert roads and minimal water infrastructure. Settlement patterns are sparse, with the presence of Lanark Tank serving as a vital landmark in an arid environment otherwise dominated by township and range section lines. The map traces the diagonal path of Co Rd A-12 as it cuts across the landscape, linking these high-desert outposts. This specific record provides a clear view of the modern road network, including routes like Co Rd A011 and Co Rd A-14, which facilitate movement across the open terrain of the Mesilla Valley region.
