2020 Map of Collier Draw

About this map

Armijo Draw and Collier Draw cut through this high-desert landscape in Sandoval County, revealing a terrain defined by complex water management and distinct landforms. The area is characterized by numerous small-scale catchments and tanks, including Old Sandy Tank, Trujillo Tank, and Huston Tanks, which illustrate the critical importance of water storage in this arid region. The geography is punctuated by significant elevations such as Mesa Cortada and Bernalillito Mesa to the north, while smaller volcanic or erosional features like Cerrito Redondo and Cerrito Largo dot the southeastern quadrant. This 2020 survey shows a network of remote access routes like BLM RD 1115 and Auden CT NW that connect scattered water sources like La Jara Lake and Armijo Lake across the rugged basins of Arroyo la Jara and Arroyo Griego.
