2012 Map of Plata NE

About this map

Alamito Cr and its various tributaries define the arid landscape of this Presidio County region, where water sources have long dictated human activity. The settlement of Plata serves as a primary local landmark, situated at the intersection of seasonal drainages and early 21st-century transit routes. Modern infrastructure is represented by the path of Ranch Road 169, which traverses the eastern portion of the terrain, providing access through a territory marked by significant hydrological features. Springs like Claw Hammer Spring and White Springs indicate the critical, scattered water points necessary for sustaining life and livestock in this high desert environment. The drainage patterns of Motonoso Cr and Dunman Cr illustrate the complex watershed that eventually feeds the larger regional creek systems.
