2020 Map of Maljamar NE

About this map

Mescalero Ridge dominates the central landscape of this Southeast New Mexico survey, creating a dramatic topographical break across the High Plains. This escarpment marks the edge of the Llano Estacado, where the terrain drops away into the drainage of Taylor Draw. The map documents a sparsely populated but highly organized landscape where the boundaries of Chaves, Eddy, and Lea counties converge. A network of industrial and rural roads, including Tower Rd, Alice Rd, and Radio Rd, suggests the area's significance for regional energy or telecommunications infrastructure. The rectilinear Public Land Survey System grid is clearly defined, with township lines for t15s r31e and t16s r32e providing an essential framework for researchers tracing property lines or land usage in this arid corner of the state.
