2020 Map of Moses

About this map

Old Moses and the nearby settlement of Moses sit at the intersection of Union County high plains and the Oklahoma state line in this recent topographic study. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Corrumpa Creek and its seasonal drainages, including Rinker Draw and Plunket Draw. Large sections of the Kiowa National Grassland are interspersed among private ranch lands, preserving a snapshot of the shortgrass prairie environment. Genealogists will find several small burial sites documented across the quadrangle, notably Puertocito Cem, Moses Cem, and Rinker Cem. Local landmarks such as Elephant Rock and Correo Spring offer specific points of interest along the rural road network, which includes Campbell Rd and Atencio Rd. This survey details the borderlands where New Mexico meets the Oklahoma Panhandle, showing the sparse but persistent ranching infrastructure of the region.
