2013 Map of Newman NW

About this map

Organ Mountains foothills define the western edge of this desert landscape, where the high peaks descend into the broad expanse of the Tularosa Valley. This 2013 survey of the New Mexico borderlands highlights the sparse but critical water management infrastructure necessary for this arid environment, featuring scattered catchments like Scott Tank, Pit Tank, and the seasonally variable Old Coe Lake. The terrain is characterized by distinct geological landmarks including Deer Hill and the Black Hills, while the drainage of Oak Canyon cuts through the western slopes. The map also records the precise administrative boundary between Do!a Ana and Otero Counties, providing a clear view of how political lines bisect this open rangeland and the solitary path of NM-213 as it traverses the basin.
