2023 Map of Riley Camp

About this map

San Jon Creek and Arroyo Trujillo carve their paths through this stretch of eastern New Mexico, defining a landscape of arid drainages and seasonal water sources. The map's northern edge is bisected by the historic path of Rte 66, a route synonymous with 20th-century American migration and travel. Local history is anchored by the presence of Bard Cem and the evocatively named Boot Hill Cem, which mark the resting places of early settlers in this ranching country. The reliance on water management is evident through numerous named catchments such as Walker Tank, Creek Tank, and Allen Tank, alongside natural features like Alamo Spring and Llano Spring. These features, along with a grid of rural thoroughfares like Quay Road K and Quay Road 54, illustrate the spatial organization of contemporary life and land use in Quay County.
