2013 Map of Ewing

About this map

The settlement of Ewing and a series of family-named livestock operations define this high-desert ranching landscape in central New Mexico. Situated in the Estancia Valley region, the area is characterized by a network of drainage channels including Arroyo de Tajique and Arroyo de Manzano, which trend toward the Torreon Draw. The map documents a sparse but established rural infrastructure where water sources like Reynolds Windmill are as vital as the roads that connect them. Land ownership and genealogy are marked by prominent holdings such as Dressler Ranch, O L Markel Ranch, and Elliott Ranch. Cultural landmarks are few, highlighted primarily by Mt Calvary Cem located along NM-542. The grid of county roads, including Riley Rd and S Bluegrass Rd, provides a framework for the vast grazing lands that dominate this portion of Torrance County.
