2023 Map of Puerto Creek

About this map

Puerto de Luna serves as the primary settlement hub in this landscape where the high plains meet the river valley. The settlement is situated along the Pecos River, which carves a deep path through the terrain. Evidence of the area's enduring community can be seen at Calvoria Cem to the north, while the landscape is further defined by the seasonal drainage of Puerto Creek and Carrizo Creek. The road network, including Paisano Rd and Pso Del Sol, follows the contours of the land, connecting disparate ranching and rural properties. The U.S. Geological Survey topography reveals a complex system of mesas and arroyos that have historically dictated the placement of trails and small-scale habitation in Guadalupe County.
