About this map

Negra and Pedernal anchor this landscape in Torrance County, situated where major transportation arteries cross the high plains. The intersection of Us-60 and Us-285 dominates the regional layout, marking a junction critical for transit across the New Mexico interior. The presence of the Negra Cem near the townsite offers a point of interest for genealogists and local historians, serving as a quiet record of the families who settled this open country.

A network of local routes, including Co Road C037 and Co Road C083, branches out from the main highways into the surrounding sections of t5n r13e and t6n r13e. The terrain is defined by subtle elevation changes and drainage patterns that influenced the placement of these early roads and the layout of the small settlements. This 2013 survey captures the area's transition between traditional ranching land and its role in the state's modern highway network.
