2020 Map of Nutt

About this map

Nutt sits at a crossroads in the high desert, positioned near the boundary where the Good Sight Mountains rise from the arid plains. This 2020 survey of the border region between Sierra and Luna counties illustrates a landscape of deep drainages and volcanic peaks. The isolated settlement is overshadowed by the nearby summit of Nutt Mtn, while to the east, the Uvas Valley opens into a broad basin. The topography is defined by significant erosion patterns, with Duran Canyon, Thirtysix Canyon, and Blue Canyon carving through the uplifted terrain. Transport in this modern era remains tethered to a network of established county routes, such as Uvas Valley Rd NE and Cristian Rd, which navigate the rugged transitions between the mountain slopes and the agricultural valley floor.
