About this map

The Bernalillo Co and Torrance Co line bisects this high-desert landscape, where ranching heritage and geographic drainage patterns define the territory. Milbourn Ranch sits near the center of the sheet, surrounded by a complex network of ephemeral waterways including Milbourn Draw, Arroyo Chinchonte, and Cañada de la Perra. These geographic features suggest a land shaped by seasonal moisture and livestock grazing.

Local history is anchored by the Garland Cem and the distinctive peak of Cerro del Conejo. The transition between the high plains and the foothills is evident through the convergence of various arroyos, such as Arroyo de la Miga and Arroyo de Tajique. A modern grid of county roads, including Co RD a044 and Luna Rd, provides access to these remote reaches of New Mexico, tracing the paths of earlier pioneers and ranchers who managed this arid environment.
