2010 Map of Clines Corners

Cultural and geological history are intertwined across the terrain, from the Tapia Cemetery and the small community of Chavez to the prominent rising of Mesa Las Tapia. Arroyos and drainage systems like Cupido Draw and Porcupine Draw define the topography, leading toward seasonal catchments such as Laguna Blanca and Laguna Colorado. The area represents a modern continuation of historic New Mexican ranching traditions, where place names often reflect the families who worked this land.
