2017 Map of Upham

About this map

Upham sits as a quiet focal point in this high-desert landscape of Sierra County, where the topography is defined by seasonal watercourses and remote ranching infrastructure. Arid drainage patterns like Aleman Draw and Yoast Draw carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural flow of the Jornada del Muerto region. Evidence of mid-century industrial exploration appears with the SunRay Midcontinent New Mexico Federal M Number 1 Spring, while numerous named catchments such as Highline Tank and Rabbit Tank indicate the vital importance of water management for livestock in this environment. The map details a network of rural routes including Slater Rd and the Aleman Shortcut, connecting isolated land parcels across township lines like t15s r2w and t16s r2w.
