2013 Map of McLaughlin Bridge

About this map

Corrumpa Cr and its tributaries carve a network of drainage channels across this portion of Union County, reflecting the arid but dynamic hydrology of the High Plains. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape of large-scale land management and livestock infrastructure, marked by the eastern reaches of the Kiowa National Grassland. Human presence is defined by a sparse grid of section-line roads such as Campbell Rd and Lake Rd, connecting remote points of interest. The locality of McLaughlin and the nearby McLaughlin Bridge serve as primary landmarks for navigating the watershed. Local history and genealogy interests are centered at Grandview Cem, while the Rohrer Windmill stands as a functional artifact of the ranching economy that has long sustained this corner of New Mexico.
