2017 Map of Yates

About this map

Yates stands at the intersection of a sparse rural road network near the border of Union and Harding counties. The landscape is defined by the high point of Cerro de la Cruz, which rises above the surrounding plateau. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring cattle-country character of the region, where historical township and range lines like t23n r28e and t23n r29e still dictate the geometry of land ownership and transit. County roads such as Co Rd C001 and Co RD Z-1 provide the primary connections through this high plains territory, while family-named routes like Dorothy Rd and Charles Rd suggest the continued presence of isolated ranching homesteads that have occupied this corner of New Mexico for generations.
