2017 Map of Organ Peak NW

About this map

Las Cruces expansion and the developed residential grids east of the city core define this high-desert landscape in the late 2010s. The map captures a transition from urbanized street layouts such as Spaceport City and Midnight Shadow Acres into the drainage-veined terrain of the Organ Mountains foothills. Numerous water management features like Lake Tank, Hiblar Tank, and Parker Tank Number 2 dot the alluvial plains, illustrating the critical infrastructure required for settlement in this arid environment. The landscape is deeply etched by significant drainage ways, including Sand Hill Arroyo, while the eastern portion of the sheet rises into the rugged topography of Baylor Canyon and Blair Canyon. This era shows a complex network of established roads like N Jornada Rd and newer developments such as Shoestring Ranch Airport, reflecting the area's continued growth as a regional hub.
