2020 Map of Orogrande North

About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Jarilla Mountains dominates this portion of Otero County, where mining history and modern military access converge. The settlement of Orogrande is positioned at the southern edge of the quadrangle, defined by a distinct grid including Main St and Carrol St. To the northeast, the smaller outpost of Turquoise sits near the base of the mountains, suggesting the mineral legacy of this arid landscape. The topography is marked by natural passages like Monte Carlo Gap and seasonal drainage features such as Water Canyon. The presence of the Oregrande Range Camp Rd indicates the area's ongoing integration with regional range facilities, while isolated water features like Hard Luck Tank highlight the challenges of the local environment.
