2020 Map of Romero Spring

About this map

Don Carlos Hills dominate the northern landscape of this Union County terrain, where elevation contours reveal a series of volcanic rises and ridges. In the high plains of northeastern New Mexico, the namesake Romero Spring provides a vital water source at the base of these hills, marking a point of interest for those tracing the history of ranching and movement through this arid environment. The map shows a sparse network of unpaved paths and local routes like Gard Rd and Pasamonte Rd that connect the open rangeland. This survey captures a modern look at the land's traditional agricultural partitions, where the Public Land Survey System divides the territory into townships such as t24n r29e, reflecting the enduring spatial organization of this rural cattle-raising region.
