2010 Map of Tucumcari SE

About this map

Barranca Creek and Saladito Creek carve through this high plains landscape southeast of Tucumcari in the early 21st century. The map reveals an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure critical to the region's agricultural life, including the Conchas Canal and its various distribution arms like the Thomas Lateral, Farrow Lateral, and Conchas Lateral. These waterworks parallel a dense grid of rural corridors, such as Quay Road 55 and Quay Road AI, which connect isolated homesteads and ranching outposts. Small named locales such as Whatley and Pyatt appear alongside established family operations like Farrow Ranch and Fife Ranch. The drainage patterns of Plaza Larga Creek and Rincon Creek further define the local topography, illustrating how water management and natural hydrology dictate settlement in this portion of Quay County.
