About this map

The high ranching and canyon country of Torrance County is revealed in this contemporary survey, where deep drainage systems like Milbourn Draw and Compton Draw cut through the high-elevation landscape. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and cañadas, including Cañada de la Perra and Cañada de la Miga, which channel runoff from the surrounding peaks toward the lower basins. The historical footprint of the area's inhabitants is preserved at the Garland Cem, located near the junction of Co RD a020 and Co RD a021.

Arid land features such as Cerro del Conejo and Cañon del Pino illustrate the complex topography that has historically shaped settlement and movement in this part of New Mexico. While modern infrastructure like Mission Hills Rd and Twin Peaks Dr now traverses the area, the underlying map of arroyos, such as Arroyo Chinchonte and Arroyo de Tajique, remains the primary geographic framework for the region.
