2017 Map of Omega

About this map

Omega serves as the primary point of reference in this high-desert landscape of western New Mexico, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and ridges. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through the center of the region, crossing over several significant drainages including San Ignacio Cr and McAllister Draw. The presence of numerous equestrian-themed road names in the northern sections, such as Golden Horseshoe Trl and Stallion Ln, suggests a modern pattern of rural residential development geared toward ranching or recreational land use. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of how human movement, represented by Catron Co Rd A095, follows the natural contours of the land near the headwaters of Mangas Cr.
