2023 Map of Wheatland

About this map

Wheatland anchors this section of the New Mexico plains, where the open landscape is defined by the sharp transition between agricultural fields and the dissected breaks of the Llano Estacado. The settlement area is marked by the Wheatland Cem, a vital point of reference for local family history and genealogy in this corner of Quay County. To the north, the terrain grows more complex as the land drops into a series of drainage systems, including Arroyo Saladito and several prominent landforms.
