How to Use This Fairacres, New Mexico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Fairacres, New Mexico. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of New Mexico or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Fairacres.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Fairacres, New Mexico

Fairacres is located at 32.3040°N, 106.8467°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP codes: 88007, 88033, 88005.Fairacres stretches across a sun-drenched expanse of high desert, where the earth bears the color of toasted wheat and the horizon is defined by the stark, jagged silhouette of Picacho Mountain. It lies 4.0 miles west of Las Cruces, NM (from Las Cruces, NM: bearing 262°T), and is situated 5.6 miles west-northwest of University Park. The air here holds a crisp, dry clarity that sharpens the edges of every mesquite bush and creosote shrub, while the distant, cooling influence of the Rio Grande hums just a mile away, threading life through the arid soil. As evening light spills across the plain, the landscape softens into shades of violet and bruised gold, casting long, lean shadows that stretch toward the rugged, silent depths of Box Canyon.
Fairacres maintains a quiet, agrarian pulse, anchored by the cycles of the harvest and the steady labor of those who cultivate the surrounding fields. The land bears the legacy of generations who recognized the fertility of this basin, blending a deep respect for the soil with the pragmatic demands of modern commerce. Residents often find respite in the quiet trails of La Llorona Park, a green refuge where the pace of the day slows to match the gentle movement of the nearby river. Whether tending to the seasonal demands of crops or moving through the rhythmic quiet of a desert afternoon, the people of Fairacres exist in a deliberate harmony with a geography that asks for patience and rewards it with a profound, unadorned beauty.

About This Fairacres Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fairacres, New Mexico. Coordinates: 32.303982, -106.846673. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Fairacres includes the ZIP code (88007, 88033, 88005), telephone area code (575), county seat of Doña Ana County, and school district assignment (Las Cruces Public Schools).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
