2020 Map of Upton

About this map

The settlement of Upton serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in Roosevelt County, established within a grid of agricultural and ranching roads. The area is defined by its subtle topographic relief, most notably the drainage of Cañada del Tule which cuts through the northern sections of the township. For those researching local families, the Upton Cem is a primary landmark situated just east of the main settlement cluster. The map illustrates a strictly organized section line road system, including routes like Price Ranch Rd, Mesa Rd, and Upton Rd, which facilitate movement across the ranching country of eastern New Mexico. This 2020 edition captures the modern state of these remote corridors and the enduring footprint of the small community center at Upton.
