2023 Map of Taylor Springs

About this map

Taylor Springs sits near the western edge of this Colfax County landscape, where the winding course of the Canadian River cuts through the high plains. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, including the prominent Chico Creek and Alkali Arroyo, which dictate the local topography and historical land use patterns. Modern transportation corridors like the shared route of 56/412 and rural connectors such as Co RD C-34 cross the plains, linking the ranchlands of northeastern New Mexico. To the southeast, the isolated basin of Middle Lake and the drainage of Jaritas Arroyo provide focal points within the township grids of t23n r24e and t24n r24e. The map illustrates the persistence of traditional cattle country, where the vast open spaces are organized by section lines and named watercourses.
