2019 Map of Timpas NW

About this map

Comanche National Grassland encompasses the southeastern corner of this quadrangle, representing a conserved landscape of the High Plains. This 2019 survey illustrates a predominantly rural and agricultural terrain in Otero County, defined by a rigid grid of county roads and water management features. Swink Reservoir Number 6 and Swink Reservoir Number 5 serve as critical landmarks in an otherwise open landscape, highlighting the importance of water storage in this semi-arid region. The land is meticulously partitioned into townships, such as t24s r59w, and connected by a network of local routes including Co Rd 7 7/10 and Co Rd V. The lack of dense settlements underscores the area's dedication to ranching and large-scale land management in the modern era.
