2013 Map of Puerto De Luna

About this map

Puerto De Luna sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Guadalupe County, where the valley of the Pecos River creates a corridor of activity amidst the surrounding mesas. The settlement pattern here is tied closely to the river’s path and the local road network, including historic routes like Questa Rd and Potrillo Rd. For those tracing local heritage, the presence of Nuestra Senora De Refugio Cem and isolated ranching outposts like Willis Ranch provides essential geographic anchors. The terrain is marked by significant natural features such as the Cañon de Hughes and the winding Arroyo San Juan de Dios, which dictate the placement of small rural communities like Gerhardt and Monzingo. This survey illustrates the enduring relationship between the river valley and the sparse, cattle-ranching territory of eastern New Mexico.
