About this map

The high desert landscape of Nutt is defined by its position at the intersection of NM-27 and Hatch Hwy Ne. This 2013 survey illustrates a sparsely populated corner of the Southwest, where the small settlement at Nutt is anchored by its Po (Post Office) and serves as a waypoint for travelers and ranching interests in northern Luna County. The terrain is dominated by the dramatic rise of Nutt Mtn to the north and the sprawling Good Sight Mountains to the south, which overlook the arid expanse of the Uvas Valley.

Drainage patterns are clearly etched into the topography through a series of named ravines, including Blue Canyon, Willow Canyon, and Thirtysix Canyon. The map provides a detailed view of the local infrastructure, from the county-line boundary shared with Sierra County to the network of roads such as Uvas Valley Rd Ne and Cristian Rd that provide access to this remote Chihuahuan Desert environment.
