New Mexico State Flag

New Mexico is the "Land of Enchantment," one of the largest states in the United States. It is fairly rural and sparsely populated state that includes a number of Native American Indian reservations, and the largest military base in the USA, White Sands Missile Range. It has vast areas of deserts mesas, and volcanic flows. It has many mountainous regions from the southern-most parts of the Rocky Mountain chain. Major freeways running through the state are I-40 and I-25 that intersect at its largest city, Albuquerque, and I-10 that runs along the southern area of the state.

Vast areas of the state are part of independent Native American Nations, the Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service, the Park the Service, and Military Private Installations. These areas have their own separate road networks. See specific wiki guidance about these areas.
