New Mexico in the source file
The Census Bureau identifies New Mexico with postal abbreviation NM and state FIPS code 35. Its 2025 county file has 33 county-level records. The fine lines in the first image trace those divisions within the state outline.
| Postal abbreviation | NM |
|---|---|
| State FIPS code | 35 |
| County-level records | 33 |
| Land area | 121,313 sq mi |
| Water area | 281 sq mi |
| Land area rank | 5 of 50 states |
The area figures are rounded conversions of the square-meter attributes in the state file. Water accounts for 0.2% of the file’s combined land and water area for New Mexico; that figure describes the source data, not a shaded portion of the SVG. The land rank compares the 50 states in this same file and excludes Washington, D.C.
What is on the map?
The blank version isolates the outer boundary. The county and equivalent map adds boundaries from the matching 2025 county file. Some states include county equivalents as well as counties; the alphabetical list below uses the Census names for each record. The maps omit roads, city names, terrain, and current travel information.
The files are based on the Census Bureau’s national 1:5,000,000 cartographic boundaries. The dataset is generalized for display, so small islands and fine bends along a coast or river may be simplified. The source scale describes the boundary detail; enlarging the SVG keeps its lines sharp but does not add geographic precision. For local analysis or a legal boundary question, use an appropriate larger-scale official dataset.

Choosing and printing a file
Use the blank outline when you plan to add your own labels or use the shape in a worksheet. Use the county-level version when the internal divisions matter. SVG is a vector format that stays clear when resized in a browser or compatible editor. PNG is a fixed 1,800 × 1,240 pixel image for software that does not accept SVG. Both show the same source boundaries. The printing guide explains paper size, margins, and attribution.
For a road or topographic map, use a source that includes those layers. The USGS National Map provides downloadable topographic maps and other geographic data. Our map types guide compares the purpose of each kind of map.
