2011 Map of McLaughlin Bridge

About this map

McLaughlin Bridge serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape of Union County, where the terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems feeding into the Corrumpa Creek and Alamosita Creek. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching region characterized by long-established infrastructure like the Rohrer Windmill and an extensive grid of local routes such as County Hwy A-074. For genealogists and local historians, the Grandview Cemetery provides a specific point of interest in an area otherwise dominated by the open expanses of the Rita Blanca National Grassland. The convergence of Rafael Creek and other seasonal waterways illustrates the vital importance of water management and topography in this corner of New Mexico.
