2013 Map of Porter

About this map

Porter and the surrounding high plains of Quay County are defined by a rigid grid of ranch roads and township lines in this 2013 survey. The landscape is marked by the descent into Tuscocoillo Canyon in the northwest, a stark contrast to the level territory that supports the small settlements of Wallin and Gibson. This map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure at the edge of the Llano Estacado, where NM-392 and NM-469 serve as primary lifelines for dispersed residences and agricultural operations. To the south, the map captures the northern outskirts of San Jon, illustrating the connection between these remote high-plains outposts and the larger regional transport corridors. The detailed survey of township and range boundaries, including t11n r34e and t12n r35e, makes this an essential document for understanding land ownership and property distribution in this part of eastern New Mexico.
