About this map

Moriarty sits at the edge of this high-desert landscape in Torrance County, where the town's expansion meets the sprawling topography of the Estancia Valley. The Moriarty Municipal Airport serves as a prominent landmark on the western margin, positioned near the Cañada de la Puerta. A complex network of residential roads, many with equestrian-themed names like Lariat Loop, Reata Rd, and Rodeo Cir, illustrates the modern settlement patterns in this area east of the city center.

The landscape is defined by its intermittent drainage systems, notably Salt Draw, Chavez Draw, and Big Draw, which carve through the terrain. Standing above these arroyos is Lobo Hill, a distinctive natural feature in the center of the sheet. Traditional ranching and land divisions are evidenced by long-established thoroughfares such as Stagecoach Rd and various county roads that bisect the sections of Townships 8 and 9 North.
