2013 Map of Clines Corners

About this map

Clines Corners marks the busy intersection of major transit routes on this high-plains landscape, where the Clines Corner Interchange facilitates the meeting of east-west and north-south traffic. This area is a tri-county junction, where the boundaries of Santa Fe, San Miguel, and Torrance counties converge. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage draws and livestock tanks, essential infrastructure for the local ranching tradition. Significant family holdings and small settlements are scattered throughout, including Los Norias Ranch, Hagerman Ranch, and Tapia Ranch. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Tapia Cem and named points like Los Cavos. The map also captures several natural basins such as Laguna Blanca and Laguna Colorado, which punctuate the arid landscape below the prominent Mesa las Tapias.
