2023 Map of Montesito Creek

About this map

Montesito Creek winds through the high plains of northeastern New Mexico, defining a landscape marked by the critical presence of water in an arid environment. This territory along the Harding Co Quay Co line reflects a history of ranching and remote settlement, where isolated water sources like Alamosa Spring, Bootlegger Spring, and Dripping Springs served as essential landmarks for movement across the basin. The Gravel Hills rise to the northwest, providing a textured backdrop to the sparse road network that includes Trigg Rd and Co Rd C. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of the Alamosa Cem and Vigil Cem, which stand as quiet markers of the families who established themselves in this section of the Llano Estacado. The presence of Dry Tank and Pit Tank further illustrates the practical engineering required to sustain life and livestock in this corner of New Mexico.
