About this map

Old Chilili and the modern settlement of Chilili anchor this landscape along the Bernalillo and Torrance county line. The area is defined by a series of deep drainages and canyons, including Cañon de Chilili and Cañon de Savina, which cut through the high-elevation terrain. Local history is centered around the Chilili Cem and the Saint John Nepomucene Cem, reflecting the cultural roots of these communities.

Agricultural and residential patterns are marked by several large named properties such as Ballinger Ranch, Clark Ranch, and Thompson Place. The presence of the Biplane Ranch Airport north of the Moriarty Rd suggests a more modern layer of transport and utility. The map also traces various natural watercourses like Buffalo Draw and Woodman Draw, which provide a detailed look at the drainage systems of this part of New Mexico.
