2013 Map of Moses

About this map

Old Moses and the nearby settlement of Moses anchor this high-plains landscape in Union County, where the dry arroyo systems of the Oklahoma-New Mexico borderland define the local geography. The area's ranching heritage is evidenced by scattered landmarks like the Wood Windmill and Monument Windmill, along with the winding course of Corrumpa Creek. To the south, the expansive Kiowa National Grassland encompasses a significant portion of the terrain, preserving the open character of the Shortgrass Prairie. Genealogists can locate several small burial grounds tied to early settlement families, including Puertocito Cem, Moses Cem, and Rinker Cem. Further north, Elephant Rock stands as a notable natural landmark above Corrumpa Cr, while McNees Crossing identifies a specific point of passage across the drainage network that feeds into the Cimarron River basin.
