2017 Map of San Jon NW

About this map

Revuelto Creek meanders through the arid landscape of Quay County, following a highly sinuous path that defines the central topography of this eastern New Mexico survey. The arrival of modern transportation is evident where Rte 66 cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, representing the legacy of the historic Mother Road as it traverses the high plains. The landscape's agricultural character is revealed through irrigation infrastructure like the Hudson Canal and McCaskey Lateral, which diversion water across the township and range boundaries. A strict grid of rural roads, including Quay Road 63 and Quay Road U, provides access to this vast, open country, marking the persistent human footprint in a region defined by its watercourses and long-distance travel corridors.
