About this map

Clines Corners marks a critical junction in the high plateau of New Mexico, where the high desert terrain meets the intersection of major transportation corridors. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, characterized by numerous ephemeral watercourses such as Chavez Draw, Porcupine Draw, and Armijo Draw. The map reveals a land managed for water, dotted with dozens of livestock tanks including Ricardo Tank, Albino Tank, and Laguna Blanca.

Located at the convergence of three counties—Santa Fe, San Miguel, and Torrance—the area around Mesa Las Tapias preserves local history through sites like the Tapia Cem. The presence of Country Club Dr and Las Norias Ranch Rd indicates the transition from traditional ranching to contemporary development near the famous road stop. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and land boundaries that have shaped the central New Mexico livestock economy.
