2010 Map of Stead

About this map

Stead serves as the focal point of this high plains landscape in Union County, where the Stead Post Office marks the hub of a sparse rural network. The terrain is defined by the winding courses of Tramperos Creek and Pinabetes Creek, which carve subtle drainage patterns across the open territory. A grid of local thoroughfares, including County Rd C046 and County Hwy C-047, connects the isolated ranching and agricultural tracts common to this portion of New Mexico. This map reveals a quiet persistence of small-town infrastructure, providing a clear record of land use and property access in the northeastern corner of the state during the early 21st century.
