2020 Map of Spalding

About this map

The Spalding settlement and the winding course of the Mimbres River anchor this portion of the New Mexico landscape. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems, including San Vicente Arroyo, Porter Draw, and Lampbright Draw, which illustrate the hydrological character of this high-desert region. A significant historical corridor is preserved here via the Butterfield Trl, reflecting the early western transit routes that crossed the area. Modern connectivity is provided by N Gold Ave, which cuts diagonally across the township lines. Local landmarks such as Jones Spring Draw and Provinger Canyon offer specific points of interest for researchers studying the geographic and environmental history of the Mimbres basin. The map provides a clear view of the survey townships, marking the transition from T21S to T22S across several ranges.
