About this map

Old US 66 cuts across this high desert landscape, tracing a historic path through the settlements of Correo and Suwanee. The region is defined by its arid geography, where water management is critical to ranching life at places like the Lower T X Ranch. A network of named water sources and livestock infrastructure is scattered throughout the terrain, including Tranquilino Windmill, Marys Windmill, and McGaughys Windmill, alongside catchment basins such as Valentine Tank and East Tank.

The topography transitions from the banks of the Rio San Jose and Arroyo Lucero toward the prominent elevations of Mesa Lucero and Mesa Redonda. A formal grid of residential streets like Lynn Ave and Denny Ave appears in the central area, while more remote reaches are accessed via an extensive system of Indian Service Roads, including Indian Service Road 54 and Indian Rte 55, reflecting the complex jurisdictional and land-use patterns of this part of Valencia County.
