2017 Map of Stony Lake

About this map

Stony Lake and the surrounding high plains of northeastern New Mexico are defined by a collection of isolated water features and dramatic landforms. This 2017 survey details the boundary between Colfax and Mora counties, a landscape where seasonal hydrology is marked by the presence of Dry Laguna and Ferguson Lake. The drainage of Ocate Cr cuts across the northern reaches of the quadrangle, while the southern terrain is sculpted by prominent geological features such as Dog Canyon and Pup Canyon. This area remains largely undeveloped, with Co Rd C-4 providing the primary access through the northern basin. The map offers a precise view of the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t23n r22e and t22n r23e, which is essential for modern property research and historical land-use analysis in this part of the state.
