About this map

Rye serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated where the high plains meet the eastern foothills. The settlement pattern here is defined by a grid of streets such as Boulder Ave and Baxter Rd, transitioning into winding routes like Cuerna Verde Rd and Diefenderfer Rd that navigate the local topography. This area is characterized by an intricate network of drainages, including Greenhorn Creek, Graneros Creek, and the various branches of Muddy Creek, which carve through the landscape.

Genealogists will find the location of Brookside Cemetery noted east of the town center. The map documents recreational and natural landmarks such as Cuerna Verde Park, Table Mountain, and Huckleberry Hills. Named water sources like Iron Spring and Cold Spring highlight the importance of hydrologic features in this semi-arid environment, while numerous canyons like Gleason Canyon and Bear Wallow Canyon define the surrounding elevation changes.
