2023 Map of Golondrina Draw

About this map

Santo Nino de Atocha Cem, located near the intersection of Chapel Rd and Golondrina Rd, serves as a significant cultural landmark within this high-desert landscape. The terrain is defined by dramatic relief, ranging from the volcanic profiles of Sierra Blanca and Black Mountain in the east to the eroded escarpments of The Palisades in the northwest. This 2023 survey illustrates a landscape where water is the primary architect of the geography, evidenced by the intricate network of drainage systems like Golondrina Draw, Boone Draw, and Salinas Draw. The presence of numerous isolated water sources, such as Maverick Spring, Armijo Spring, and Indian Spring, underscores the critical importance of reliable water points for ranching and transit across the Godfrey Hills.
