2017 Map of Newman NW

About this map

The Organ Mountains rise along the northwestern edge of this landscape, marking the rugged transition toward the desert floor of southern New Mexico. This 2017 survey details a sparsely populated expanse defined by topographic relief and water management features necessary for the arid environment. The terrain is characterized by the Black Hills and Deer Hill, with the deep incisions of Oak Canyon cutting through the western sections. Evidence of human adaptation to the Chihuahuan Desert appears in the form of livestock or irrigation reservoirs, including Scott Tank and Pit Tank. Along the eastern margin, the intermittent Old Coe Lake lies near the Doña Ana Co Otero Co boundary, illustrating the seasonal nature of water in this basin. The map serves as a precise record of the physical geography and public land divisions during the early twenty-first century.
