2023 Map of Upham

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Upham stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Sierra County, where the infrastructure of ranching and resource extraction meets the natural drainage systems of the Rio Grande basin. The terrain is defined by a series of significant seasonal watercourses, including Aleman Draw in the north and Barbee Draw at the southern edge, which carve through the land near the Canon Avendijo. A complex network of roads like Aleman Shortcut and Co RD A-13 provide access across the townships. This 2023 survey documents the specialized water management essential for the region, noted by features such as Rabbit Tank and Highline Tank. Of particular historical interest to researchers of the local energy industry is the long-named Sun Ray Midcontinent New Mexico Federal M Number 1 Spring, reflecting decades of land use and mineral exploration.
