2017 Map of Romero Spring

About this map

Don Carlos Hills dominate the northern terrain of this Union County landscape, where the elevation drops away toward the south and east. A focal point of this arid region is Romero Spring, a vital water source tucked into the western slopes of the hills. The map illustrates a remote grazing or ranching environment, structured by the Public Land Survey System through several townships, including t25n r29e and t24n r30e. Low-impact infrastructure such as Gard Rd and Pasamonte Rd provide the primary access through these high plains. This contemporary survey captures the persistent rural character of northeastern New Mexico, showing how geography and water continue to dictate the placement of roads and landmarks in a largely undeveloped territory.
