Route description

The route begins at an intersection with NM 48 slightly north of the small town of Angus. Heading westward, the route winds in and out of the Lincoln National Forest, heading through a forested terrain. After a brief stretch, the road again enters the national forest, turning west and then north near Nogal Lake. The route then resumes its north-northeasterly direction. NM 37 passes the town of Nogal after again exiting the national forest. The roadway then turns northeast, running almost parallel to US 380 for several miles. The route's northern terminus is at a junction with US 380 between Capitan and Carrizozo.[2]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Lincoln County.
