About this map

Cinder Mountain rises above a landscape defined by ephemeral waterways in this Union County survey. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including the eastward-flowing Perico Creek, Carrizo Creek, and Cedar Creek, which carve winding paths through the high plains terrain. This specific geography highlights the importance of water management and natural drainage in the ranching lands of northeastern New Mexico.

A grid of rural corridors provides access to these remote sections, with named routes like Atchely Rd, Wiley Rd, and Davis Rd connecting scattered points across the high desert. These roads, often following the natural contours of the land or property boundaries like t26n r31e, offer a view into the contemporary land use and connectivity of this sparsely populated region near the state's borderlands.
