2010 Map of Upton

About this map

Upton sits at the center of this Roosevelt County landscape, defined by a rigid grid of rural roads and the intermittent drainage of Cañada del Tule. The settlement's history is anchored by the Upton Cemetery and the thoroughfare of Upton Rd, while the surrounding terrain is marked by essential water infrastructure like Twin Windmills in the northwest. The road network, including Price Ranch Rd and numerous numbered Roosevelt roads, illustrates the systematic agricultural division of the High Plains. This 2010 survey provides a clear view of the ranching and farming layout of eastern New Mexico at the start of the 21st century, showing how modern land management follows the historical township and range system.
