2013 Map of Nara Visa

About this map

Nara Visa sits at a geographic crossroads on the high plains where the New Mexico-Texas border meets the Hartley and Oldham county lines. This ranching landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of the Nara Visa Arroyo and its multiple branches, including the W Fork and E Fork. Settled life in this arid environment is evidenced by a dense network of family-named wells and ranches, such as Bravo Ranch and McAllister. The grid of secondary roads like Quay Road 93 and NM-402 connects isolated settlements such as Burris and Burns to the village center. To the east, the terrain breaks into the drainage of Horse Cr and the topographical relief of Sidle Canyon, where Sidle Spring provides a rare natural water source amidst the numerous man-made bores like Jones Well and Greenhouse Well.
