About this map

Miera serves as a central landmark in this high plains region where the borders of Union and Harding counties meet. The landscape is defined by the prominent elevation of Minnie Butte, a distinctive landform rising above a network of seasonal drainages. These watercourses, including Tramperos Cr and Del Muerto Cr, carve subtle relief into the terrain as they flow toward the southeast.

A sparse but critical network of local routes like Blue Front Rd and Gap Rd provides the primary infrastructure through these sprawling ranch lands. The map details the precise boundary lines of the Public Land Survey System, specifically townships t22n r31e and t21n r32e, illustrating the geometric organization of the New Mexico territory. This survey documents a quiet rural pocket where the land's utility is tied closely to the intermittent waters of Church Cr and Ventanas Cr.
