About this map

Torreon Draw and Arroyo de Manzano dominate this arid central New Mexico landscape, illustrating the ephemeral drainage patterns characteristic of the Estancia Basin. The map captures a moment in the mid-1980s when transportation and utility infrastructure carved straight lines across the basin floor, including a prominent Old R.R. Grade and a north-south Pipeline. For local historians, the location of a small Cem. and multiple Gravel Pits provide clues to early land use and settlement proximity. To the northeast, the expanse of a large Salt Flat marks the hydrologic low point of the region, where numerous scattered wells suggest the ongoing search for water in this high-desert environment.
