2013 Map of Camaleon Draw West

About this map

Trinchera Mesa and Camaleon Hill dominate this high-desert landscape in central New Mexico, where the transition between the plains and the uplifted mesas creates a complex network of drainage. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching region defined by the presence of Sharp Ranch and Simpson Ranch. These remote holdings are connected by a few critical arteries like Co Road C020 and Co Road A030, which cross the seasonal watercourses of Camaleon Draw and the Cola del Gallo Arroyo. The southern edge of the survey follows the jurisdictional boundary between Torrance and Lincoln counties, marking a divide in this arid territory where geography often dictated the placement of county lines and travel routes.
