2020 Map of Vest Camp

About this map

Vest Camp serves as a lone focal point in this high desert landscape of Chaves County, where the terrain is defined more by its township boundaries and sparse infrastructure than by dense settlement. The map reflects a modern livestock or ranching operation, typical of this region's land use, where vital water sources like Brooks Tank are the primary landmarks across the arid sections. Connectivity is provided by a simple network of county routes, including Co Rd 165 and Co Rd 161, which navigate the grid-based sections. This 2020 survey illustrates the persistence of wide-open ranch land in New Mexico, where large tracts remain under the management of the Public Land Survey System as indicated by the prominent township labels.
