About this map

McGillivray Draw carves a path through the high plains of Torrance County, defining the primary drainage pattern for this segment of the New Mexico landscape. The area is characterized by sparse development and a reliance on localized water sources, as evidenced by the West Douglas Tanks located in the southeastern portion of the map. These water features are essential markers in an otherwise dry terrain, historically supporting the livestock and ranching activities that have long sustained the region.

Transportation is limited to a network of county routes, including Co Rd A131, Co Rd A128, and Co Rd A049, which facilitate travel between isolated ranch holdings and the surrounding townships. The map clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System boundaries, specifically the intersections of t7n r10e, t7n r11e, and other townships, providing a foundational grid for understanding local land ownership and genealogy in this open country.
