When a listing near Pecos mentions a lot number, you'll need the Las Vegas plat map to make sense of it. This Las Vegas guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Getting started with the Las Vegas plat map
For a subdivision near Mosquero, the deed usually cites the plat; use it to request a copy.

Sections, lots and bearings

Las Vegas, NM: the basics

Acreage past the city limits out by Mosquero generally follows county rules, not municipal ones.
When a plat changes
Lots near Mosquero can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; street vacations near Pecos show up in the records too.
