Negra is the primary settlement on this High Plains landscape of Torrance County, centered around a sparse road network and the nearby Negra Cemetery. The settlement pattern is defined by long, straight thoroughfares such as County Rd-C037 and County Rd-C029, which connect isolated homesteads and ranching interests in this arid region of New Mexico. The geography is characterized by seasonal drainages and wide-open expanses, where infrastructure is limited to essential county routes like County Rd-C084 and County Rd-C056. This 2010 survey illustrates a quiet, rural community where the cemetery remains a central landmark for local genealogy and history, providing a clear view of the area's modern spatial organization before further contemporary development.
