About this map

San Jon sits along a critical East-West corridor in the high plains of Quay County, where the local economy and community are shaped by the terrain of the Llano Estacado. The settlement is organized around a grid of streets including E Walnut Ave and E Cherry Ave, with the Po serving as a central hub for the surrounding ranching and transit landscape. To the west, the locality of Garrett and various drainage features like San Jon Cr mark the subtle shifts in elevation across the township.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as the San Jon Cem and Pleasant Valley Cem, which provide historical continuity for families tied to these homesteads and ranching tracts. The presence of the South Coffman Windmill in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the enduring importance of water management in this arid region, where ephemeral streams like Arroyo Saladito cut through the plains.
