2013 Map of Duran NE

About this map

Duran anchors the northwestern corner of this New Mexico landscape, situated along the path of Us-54 N. The topography is defined by the high-desert drainages of Tall Pine Draw and Marino Draw, which illustrate the natural water-flow patterns across the Torrance and Guadalupe county line. For those researching local family histories or land use, the map identifies private agricultural operations such as Hindi Ranch and A Hindi Ranch in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The inclusion of the Duran Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogical study, while named water features like Indio Tank and the Laguna de las Vacas suggest the vital role of seasonal and permanent water sources in this arid environment.
