2020 Map of Salt Lake

About this map

Salt Lake and its surrounding high plains landscape define this quadrant of Guadalupe County. The geography is characterized by intermittent water systems, including the drainage of Pajarito Cr in the north and the seasonal Arroyo Copita further south. The presence of Valencia Spring suggests a critical water source for the local ranching economy in an otherwise arid environment. A grid of rural routes, such as Corriente Rd, Bedford Rd, and Armstrong Rd, provides access across the sectioned townships. These roads, along with the east-west path of Highway 156, reveal a landscape organized for utility, where land boundaries follow the Public Land Survey System across the expanses of T8N and T9N.
