2020 Map of Newman NW

About this map

The Organ Mountains dominate the northwestern corner of this Chihuahuan Desert landscape, providing a dramatic backdrop to the arid plains of the Mesilla Valley region. The map details a transition from the elevated peaks and Black Hills down through Oak Canyon toward the valley floor. Water management in this dry environment is evidenced by features like Old Coe Lake and the Pit Tank, which are essential for livestock and local wildlife. Tracing the border between Doña Ana and Otero counties, the survey also captures the grid of the Public Land Survey System, marking townships such as t24s r5e. The presence of War Rd in the southwest reflects the area's proximity to military training grounds and range lands that define much of this borderland territory.
