2023 Map of Nutt

About this map

Nutt serves as the central point of reference in this arid southern New Mexico landscape, situated at the boundary of Sierra and Luna Counties. The area is defined by sharp topographic shifts, where the high prominence of Nutt Mountain and the southern reaches of the Good Sight Mountains overlook the expanse of the Uvas Valley. The map details a complex drainage system through numerous landforms such as Duran Canyon, Thirtysix Canyon, and Blue Canyon, illustrating how water has historically shaped the terrain. This modern survey provides a clear view of the rural road network, including Co RD a027 and Uvas Valley Rd NE, which connect the isolated settlement to the broader ranching and valley lands. The placement of Nutt at a major road junction highlights its role as a persistent waypoint in an otherwise sparsely populated region.
