1995 Map of Corona North

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor defines the transit and settlement pattern of this high-desert region during the mid-1990s. The village of Corona anchors the southern portion of the map, situated near the Rodeo Grounds and the county line dividing Torrance and Lincoln counties. To the north, the small settlement of Torrance sits along the rail line, while the western landscape is dominated by the protected lands of the Cibola National Forest. The map is a record of ranching infrastructure and water management in an arid environment, featuring numerous named tanks like Lee Tank and North Simpson Tank, alongside the Shartzer Windmill. High points such as Camaleon overlook the Camaleon Draw, illustrating the relationship between the drainage systems and the few established homesteads like Brunson Ranch and Bagley Ranch that dot the territory.
