About this map

Pastura occupies a central position on this high-plains landscape, where the intersection of Highway 54 and Highway 219 dictates the local transit pattern. The terrain is defined by the massive rise of Argonne Mesa to the west, which drops off into a series of drainage systems including Kipping Canyon, Little Canyon, and Collins Canyon.

Ranching infrastructure is the primary human footprint across these grasslands, evidenced by a network of isolated water sources such as the Martinez Windmill, Sulfur Windmill, and Cactus Windmill. These points of interest, along with ephemeral water features like Mayter Lake and the winding Arroyo El Ojito, provide a record of land use in a region where water management is essential to survival and industry.
