2020 Map of Yates

About this map

Yates sits at the junction of High Plains roads in the northeast corner of New Mexico, a region defined by wide-open grazing land and occasional volcanic landmarks. The landscape is punctuated by Cerro de la Cruz, a prominent rise that serves as a topographical anchor in an area otherwise marked by subtle drainage patterns and occasional wetlands. This 2020 edition provides a clear picture of modern land divisions, showing the precise boundary between Union Co and Harding Co. Local infrastructure is mapped through a grid of rural routes including Charles Rd, Merger Ln, and several county roads such as Co RD Z-1. The map illustrates how township and range lines, like t23n r28e, continue to organize the agricultural and ranching economy of this sparsely populated high desert territory.
