2013 Map of Whitewater

About this map

Whitewater stands at a pivotal junction of the high desert landscape, where the seasonal waters of San Vicente Arroyo and Cherry Cr converge. This 2013 survey documents a terrain defined by intermittent drainages and significant relief, most notably at Hogback Mtn and the adjacent Hogback Draw. The map illustrates the sparsely settled character of this portion of New Mexico, where the infrastructure of White Water Rd and Co Road D002 provides the primary access through the wide alluvial plains and rocky outcrops. The boundary between Grant Co and Luna Co is clearly delineated in the southern portion of the sheet, marking a transition in local jurisdiction across the scrub-dotted flats. Researchers will find a precise record of the hydrologic network, including Cameron Cr and Oak Grove Cr, which dictate the placement of ranching roads and remote homestead sites.
