About this map

Encino serves as the focal point of this high-plains landscape, where the convergence of major highways and local thoroughfares like Railroad Ave and Pinon St defines the settlement's structure. The local history of the community is anchored by two significant burial grounds, Guadalupe Cem and Encino Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Torrance County.

The surrounding terrain is characterized by the broad drainage of Amarillo Draw to the north and the feature labeled Carnero to the south. This 2017 survey documents a network of county roads, including Co Rd C049 and Perez Rd, that segment the vast ranching and grazing lands. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, specifically t5n r14e and surrounding townships, provides a precise spatial framework for understanding land ownership and the historical development of the New Mexico interior.
