2017 Map of McLaughlin Bridge

About this map

McLaughlin Bridge serves as a central crossing point in this sparsely populated region of Union County, New Mexico. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages of the High Plains, including Corrumpa Cr, Alamosita Cr, and Alamos Cr, which carve shallow paths through the expansive rangelands. The eastern portion of the map includes sections of the Kiowa National Grassland, reflecting the federal conservation efforts and land management of the western plains. This 2017 survey reveals a network of county roads such as Lake Rd and Kear Rd that navigate the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. For genealogists and local historians, the Grandview Cem located north of Alamos Cr provides a specific point of interest for tracing family roots in this rural ranching community.
