2012 Map of Black Point

About this map

Cloverdale serves as the focal point of this arid landscape in the early twenty-first century, positioned along the intermittent course of Cloverdale Cr. The map documents a territory defined by ranching heritage, where named properties like Eicks Ranch, Robertson Ranch, and Pendleton Ranch denote long-standing family operations in this corner of New Mexico. Significant landmarks for local history and genealogy include the Cloverdale Cem and the reliable water source at Cloverdale Spring. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive landforms, most notably the namesake volcanic feature Black Point and the high elevation of Kilmer Peak. Essential infrastructure for this rural environment is represented by artificial water catchments such as Crescent Tank and the historic route of Geronimo Trl, which connects the scattered homesteads through the drainage basins.
