2017 Map of Quay

About this map

Quay sits at the heart of this high plains landscape in eastern New Mexico, where the topography is defined by the prominent Saddleback Mesa to the west. The area's drainage pattern is dominated by seasonal watercourses like Garcia Cr, Bradley Cr, and Charco Cr, which cut through the arid terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the Brown Cem in the north serves as a significant marker of early settlement in this part of Quay County. The map details a systematic grid of rural transit including Quay Road 43 and Quay Road 45, illustrating how ranching and agricultural life are organized around these section lines. This document preserves the modern rural footprint of a community that remains tied to its high-desert landscape and sparse water resources.
