2017 Map of Lordsburg

About this map

Lordsburg serves as the central hub of this high-desert corridor, positioned along major transit routes that bisect the arid landscape. The settlement of Glen Acres lies to the north, while the historical site of Shakespeare sits to the southwest, accompanied by the Shakespeare Cem and proximity to Valedon. The terrain is defined by the northern reaches of the Pyramid Mountains, including landmarks like Wildcat Hill and Atwood Hill, which overlook various drainages such as Aberdeen Draw and Bluebird Draw. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail weaves through the region, crossing the paths of long-standing infrastructure like Power Plant Rd and the Lordsburg Municipal Airport. Tracing these features reveals the logistical importance of this passage through Hidalgo County, where water features like Mudhole Draw and Lordsburg Draw suggest the ephemeral nature of the local environment.
