2017 Map of Riley Camp

About this map

Rte 66 cuts across the northern edge of this high plains landscape, following a drainage divide north of the San Jon Cr system. The terrain is defined by a series of south-running arroyos, including Arroyo Trujillo and Arroyo Saladito, which reveal a landscape centered on ranching and water management. Sparse but significant human markers such as Riley Camp and the evocatively named Boot Hill Cem provide evidence of the area's rural history. Numerous named water sources, from Alamo Spring to livestock infrastructure like Walker Tank and Allen Tank, illustrate the essential nature of water rights and ranch improvements in Quay County. The map provides a detailed view of the sectional grid system and the network of local routes like Quay Road M that connect these remote outposts.
