2023 Map of El Cabo

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

El Cabo sits at the heart of this high-plateau landscape where the northern boundary of Torrance County meets San Miguel County. The terrain is defined by dramatic landforms such as Mesa las Tapias and the deep cut of Canyon Venado. Water management is the primary signature of human activity in this arid environment, evidenced by an extensive network of named tanks and catchments like Lopez Tank, San Antonio Tank, and Pine Tank. The nomenclature suggests a history of livestock ranching and seasonal water security, with features such as School Tank and Little Water Tank serving specific locales across the range. To the south, the modern corridor of Interstate 40 provides the primary transit artery, contrasting with the more traditional water engineering of the El Represar de la Bolsa and Represar del Empedrado which follow the natural drainage of Empedrados Draw.
