Map

"New Mexico (Navajo: Yootó Hahoodzo) is the fifth largest by area and the 36th most populous of the U.S. states. This corner-state has diverse nature which includes deserts, high plains, and mountains. The climate is generally semi-arid to arid because New Mexico has very little water." — Official American Truck Simulator website

New Mexico is a state of the United States, which is featured in American Truck Simulator as a map expansion DLC and in the 18 Wheels of Steel series. It was announced on February 2, 2017 to celebrate the game's first anniversary and was released on November 9, 2017. It is the second map of DLC involving map expansions, but the first paid one.

The state is bordered by Arizona to the west, Texas to the east-southeast, Oklahoma to the northeast, Colorado to the north, the Mexican states of Chihuahua to the south and Sonora to the southwest, and touches Utah to the northwest at the Four Corners.

Geography

New Mexico is a landlocked state situated in the Southwestern region of the United States. It is bordered by Arizona to the west, Texas to the east-southeast, Oklahoma to the northeast, Colorado to the north, the Mexican states of Chihuahua to the south and Sonora to the southwest, and touches Utah to the northwest at the Four Corners. With an area of 121,590 square miles (314,900 km2), New Mexico is the fifth-largest state, after Alaska, Texas, California, and Montana.

Geographically, the state can be divided into three regions: the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the Basin and Range Province.

The Great Plains run from a high plateau in the north south to the Pecos River. Rivers in the high plateau have cut deep canyons into the landscape. This area is use for sheep and cattle ranches. To the south, dry farming and irrigated agriculture is possible. South of the Canadian River, along the eastern edge of New Mexico, the land is referred to as the High Plains or Staked Plains (Llano Estacado). These High Plains run along the Texas border in New Mexico.

The Rocky Mountains extend into New Mexico from Colorado to the north. The Rio Grande River cuts through the Rocky Mountains from north to south. East of the Rio Grane, is the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) Mountain range. Wheeler Peak, the highest point in New Mexico is found in this range. To the west of the Rio Grande are the Nacimiento and Jemez Mountain ranges. The fertile Rio Grande Valley provides suitable farm land using modern irrigation techniques.

The Basin and Range Province covers about 1/3 of the state and lies at to the south of the Rocky Mountain Region. This region extends south from around Santa Fe to Mexico and west to Arizona. This area is marked by rugged mountain ranges, such as the Guadalupe, Mogollon, Organ, Sacramento, and San Andres mountain ranges, separated by desert basins. The Rio Grande River flows north to south through the Basin and Range Region and exits New Mexico in the south to form the border between Texas and Mexico.

Climate

New Mexico has long been known for its dry, temperate climate. Overall the state is semi-arid to arid, with areas of continental and alpine climates at higher elevations. New Mexico's statewide average precipitation is 13.7 inches (350 mm) a year, with average monthly amounts peaking in the summer, particularly in the more rugged north-central area around Albuquerque and in the south. Generally, the eastern third of the state receives the most rainfall, while the western third receives the least. Higher altitudes receive around 40 inches (1,000 mm), while the lowest elevations see as little as 8 to 10 inches (200–250 mm).

Cities

There are 14 cities in the New Mexico map expansion.
