2020 Map of Loco Arroyo

About this map

Loco Arroyo and a network of seasonal watercourses define this high-plains landscape in northeastern New Mexico. The terrain is marked by the presence of Cerriot Negro in the northeast, overlooking a drainage system that includes Kappis Arroyo, Spring Arroyo, and Ladd Arroyo. These intermittent streams flow through a region primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, with boundaries for townships like t27n r24e clearly delineated. For genealogists and local historians, the Herrera Cem provides a significant point of reference in an otherwise sparsely populated area. The human footprint is further traced through cattle-country infrastructure such as Eagle Tail Rd and the Maxwell Cutoff, while the Red River Ditch in the northwest corner points to the area's agricultural water management history.
