About this map

The Pecos River carves a winding path through this corner of Guadalupe County, defining the agricultural and settlement patterns of the high desert landscape. The village of Puerto De Luna sits at a natural bend in the river, anchored by local history at the Nuestra Senora de Refugio Cem. This area reflects a long-standing ranching and farming tradition, evidenced by the network of named rural routes like Alamo Farm Rd and Mustang Rd that follow the contours of the valley floor.

Dramatic shifts in elevation are visible along the Cañon de Hughes, where the terrain drops sharply toward the riverbank. Water remains the lifeblood of the region, with the Arroyo San Juan de Dios and other drainage features feeding into the primary waterway. The mapping of small residential streets like Madrid St alongside broad township boundaries such as t7n r22e provides a clear view of how private land use and public land surveys intersect in eastern New Mexico.
