2020 Map of Clines Corners

About this map

Clines Corners serves as the primary landmark on this high-plains landscape where Santa Fe, San Miguel, and Torrance counties meet. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage channels including Chavez Draw, Porcupine Draw, and Armijo Draw, which cut through the high ground of Mesa las Tapia. This 2020 survey illustrates the critical role of water management in this arid region, as evidenced by dozens of named catchment basins such as Albino Tank, Ricardo Tank, and Laguna Blanca. Local history is anchored by the Tapia Cem located near Tapia Cem, and historical ranching patterns are visible through labels like Las Norias Ranch Rd and Los Cavos Ln. The intersection of modern infrastructure and traditional land use is clear, with Interstate highways meeting at the eponymous settlement while cattle tanks remain the most frequent named features on the map.
