2023 Map of Yates

About this map

Yates stands as the central point of reference in this high-plains landscape where the northeastern corner of New Mexico meets the southern boundary of Union County. The topography is defined by the prominent Cerro de la Cruz, a landmark elevation that overlooks a network of rural routes including Co Rd C001 and Co Rd C006. This survey reveals the precise intersection of administrative lines at the Union Co Harding Co border, illustrating how political boundaries were laid across the open range. The sparse distribution of named roads like Merger Ln and Charles Rd reflects the enduring agricultural and ranching character of the region, where large parcels of land are divided by section lines and connected by a few critical transportation corridors.
