Encyclopedia > Eastern New Mexico

Eastern New Mexico is a region of the U.S. state of New Mexico. The region is sometimes termed the High Plains. It is generally located at an altitude of over 4,000 feet and is mostly characterized by relatively level terrain. The region typically lacks the high relief of central and western New Mexico, such as that in the Sangre de Cristo and Sandia mountain ranges. In agriculture and other aspects, it resembles the state of Texas more than it does many regions of New Mexico. Its primary cities include Tucumcari, Clovis and Portales.
