About this map

The high plains of Colfax County meet the elevations of the Pinon Hills in this detailed 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Salado Cr, which flows across the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. Local agricultural and water management infrastructure is evident in the presence of the Charette Lake Canal at the southern edge of the sheet, providing insight into how this arid region maintains its livestock and farming operations.

Remote settlements and junctions such as Clayton and Montoya serve as landmarks in a territory otherwise dominated by vast open spaces and the primary transit artery of Nm-21. The map documents the intricate township and range divisions, specifically covering sections of t24n r21e and t24n r22e, which are essential for property researchers and those tracing land use history in northeastern New Mexico.
