2020 Map of Sofia

About this map

The settlement of Sofia centers this high plains landscape in Union County, where the grid of the Public Land Survey System meets a sparse network of county roads. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, notably the path of Carrizo Cr in the northeastern corner and the winding course of Cedar Cr further south. These intermittent watercourses and the surrounding topography indicate a ranching or agricultural environment where human presence is concentrated along vital transit corridors like Sofia Rd and Belcheff Rd. This survey documents the modern layout of the region, illustrating how the townships of t26n r29e, t26n r30e, t25n r29e, and t25n r30e are partitioned by long, straight sections of roadway such as Co Rd A006 and Co Rd A008, which facilitate movement across the wide open reaches of northeastern New Mexico.
