2017 Map of Ewing

About this map

Ewing and its surrounding high-desert landscape are defined by a network of seasonal drainage channels, including the prominent Arroyo de Tajique and Arroyo de Manzano. This 2017 topographic record by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated region of Torrance County where settlement is clustered along rural routes like Akin Farm Rd and Langley Rd. A significant landmark for local history and genealogy is Mount Calvary Cem, located in the southwest corner of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by gradual elevation changes and natural features like the Torreon Draw. The systematic grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t6n r7e and t5n r8e, provides a framework for the modern road network that services this ranching and agricultural territory.
