USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The high plains of eastern Torrance County are dominated by the massive plateau of Duran Mesa and the prominent Trinchera Mesa to the south. In the early 1980s, the small settlement of Duran served as a key point along the Southern Pacific railroad, which cuts diagonally across the landscape. The infrastructure of this arid region is clearly defined by a network of vital water sources, including the Railroad Well and Valencia Well, which sustained local ranching and transit operations.
