2013 Map of Sofia

About this map

The high plains of Union County define this 2013 survey of the northeastern corner of New Mexico. Sofia stands as the primary settlement, localized around the intersection of Co Road A115 and Co Highway A-006. For genealogists and local historians, the Sofia Cem provides a specific point of reference for the families that established themselves in this remote cattle-ranching and dry-farming region. The terrain is marked by the prominent Don Carlos Hills in the southwest, while the drainage of Cedar Cr and Carrizo Cr carves shallow paths across the northern reaches. Isolated homesteads or family-named sites such as Jones and Ashley highlight the sparse, wide-open distribution of residents characteristic of the Llano Estacado's edge in the early 21st century.
