2013 Map of Pintada

About this map

Pintada Arroyo winds through this Guadalupe County landscape, tracing a path south of the small settlements that define the local geography. The map documents the relationship between Pintada and Old Pintada, providing vital details for researchers such as the location of the Old Pintada Cem. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, including the Cañon de Baca in the northeast and numerous unnamed mesas and draws. This 2013 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching region where large landholdings like York Ranch dominate the northern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation is limited to a few primary arteries, notably Co Road 4 and Pintada Rd, which connect these isolated outposts across the high plains of New Mexico.
