2020 Map of Luis Lopez

About this map

Luis Lopez and San Antonio anchor the eastern corridor of this New Mexico landscape, positioned along the transportation artery that parallels the Rio Grande valley. The terrain transitions sharply from these low-lying settlements toward the west, where the Chupadera Mountains dominate the horizon. This 2020 survey illustrates the contrast between the organized rural road network, including Farm Market RD and San Antonio RD, and the intricate drainage patterns of the high desert. Key natural features like Red Canyon and Madera Canyon carve through the uplands, while vital water points such as Chupadera Spring, Montoya Tank, and Miera Tank are documented across the arid stretches. The map also traces Walnut Creek as it winds toward the valley, providing a detailed look at the geographic relationship between the mountainous Rincon Madera and the settled flats of Socorro County.
