2011 Map of Quemado

About this map

Quemado serves as the primary hub of this high-altitude landscape, situated where Old Quemado Rd meets the modern highway corridor. The town's civic core is anchored by the Quemado Post Office and the Quemado District Ranger Office, while the Quemado Community Cemetery sits just to the north, providing a point of interest for genealogists and local historians. The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainages, such as the Baca Arroyo and Rito Creek, which flow through the high plains toward more substantial channels like Escondido Creek and Mangas Creek. To the east, the landscape reveals localized water sources essential for ranching and settlement, including Sweazea Lake, San Ignacio Spring, and Nutria Spring. Named features like Wilbur Wadley Draw and Sweazea Draw further suggest the generational family ties to the land in this corner of Catron County.
