Explore Lee Acres, New Mexico, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lee Acres, 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 Lee Acres.
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.

Lee Acres occupies a stark, sun-bleached expanse where the high desert floor meets the rugged, weathered terrain of Kutz Canyon. It lies 10.3 miles east-southeast of Farmington, NM (from Farmington, NM: bearing 101°T), and is situated 3.0 miles west-southwest of Bloomfield. The San Juan River carves a persistent path through the surrounding arid landscape, providing a vital ribbon of moisture that sustains the local ecology. To the distant horizon, the San Juan Mountains rise in jagged, blue-tinted silhouettes, their peaks catching the waning light long after the valley has slipped into shadow. Within the immediate footprint of the land, the River Tracts Area of Critical Environmental Concern preserves a fragile riparian corridor, where the silence of the scrubland is broken only by the dry rustle of sagebrush and the occasional cry of a hawk circling the thermal currents.
Lee Acres reflects the pragmatic character of a region built on the extraction of resources and the quiet endurance of those who work the earth. The economy remains tied to the rhythms of the energy industry and the sprawling, utilitarian nature of the surrounding plains, where the scale of human effort feels small against the vast, open sky. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the high desert, marked by the sharp clarity of the air and a light that strips away pretense, leaving the stark geometry of the land exposed. While Lake Farmington provides a nearby gathering point for the surrounding region, the daily existence of those in Lee Acres is defined by the proximity of the river and the expansive, quiet solitude of the canyon country.

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.
