2023 Map of Duran NE

About this map

Duran occupies the northwestern corner of this landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding high plains of Torrance and Guadalupe counties. The settlement is anchored by the Duran Old Church and an adjacent Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted community history of the region. The terrain is characterized by broad drainage patterns and intermittent water sources, such as Tall Pine Draw and Marino Draw, which have historically dictated ranching and travel routes across these open expanses. Further south, the presence of Indio Tank and the seasonal Laguna de las Vacas underscores the vital importance of water management in this arid environment. The map details the transition between various township and range sections, providing a clear view of how the land was partitioned for development and grazing.
