2013 Map of Lisbon

About this map

The arid corridor of the Lordsburg Valley dominates this 2013 survey of southwestern New Mexico, where the infrastructure of modern transit cuts across a landscape shaped by intermittent drainage. The settlement of Lisbon sits at the intersection of a major highway and the Hidalgo County-Grant County line, while the rail-side location of Ulmoris serves as a secondary waypoint in the northwest. The terrain is defined by dramatic changes in elevation where Walker Canyon and Jones Canyon descend into the flatlands. This map captures the region's hydrography through the Burro Cienaga, a critical water system in the high desert that dictates local ranching and land use patterns across several townships, including t23s r17w and t24s r17w.
