2020 Map of Moriarty South

About this map

Moriarty sits at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, where the Estancia Valley's grid-based development meets the open drainage systems of the New Mexico desert. The map documents a residential and agricultural transition, anchored by the Moriarty Municipal Airport and the community of McIntosh to the south. Local heritage is preserved at the Mountain View Cem and Mount Carmel Cem, while the hydrologic character of the basin is defined by intermittent features like Woodman Draw, Buffalo Draw, and the Mescalero Reservoir. A dense network of local roads, including the whimsically named Pumpkinpatch Rd and Coyote Loop, illustrates the contemporary parceling of the land within the historic boundaries of t9n r8e and t8n r9e.
