2014 Map of Lupton

About this map

Lupton sits at a critical geographic and administrative juncture, where the high desert terrain of the Apache and McKinley County line meets the Arizona-New Mexico border. This survey documents the modern transportation corridor that follows the historic path of the Puerco River, including various state and Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Az-118 and NM-118. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the flat river valley and the dramatic relief of Wild Goat Canyon to the northeast.
