2023 Map of Whitewater

About this map

Whitewater serves as the primary focal point in this New Mexico landscape, situated at the confluence of several prominent drainage systems. The hydrology of the area is defined by the winding course of the San Vicente Arroyo, which is joined by Oak Grove Creek, Cameron Creek, and Cherry Creek as they move across the high desert terrain. The topography is shaped by the significant presence of Hogback Mountain and the adjacent Hogback Draw, features that likely dictated early movement and route planning in this portion of Grant and Luna Counties. Local transport is marked by established paths like White Water Rd and Bertha Moore Rd, connecting the scattered homesteads and ranching interests to the wider regional network near the southern border of Grant County.
