2013 Map of Laguna Del Perro South

About this map

Silio stands as a primary settlement point within this high-desert landscape of Torrance County, situated along the path of Us-60. The geography is defined by significant saline basins, most notably Laguna del Perro in the northern portion and Salina Lake further south. These features reflect the endorheic drainage patterns of the Estancia Basin, where water accumulates and evaporates in shallow depressions. The transportation network is anchored by the intersection of major routes, with NM-42 cutting diagonally across the southwestern sections toward the center. Land divisions follow the Public Land Survey System, spanning townships such as t4n r9e and t5n r10e, providing a clear grid for local historical research and land ownership tracing.
