2013 Map of Pedernal Mountain

About this map

Pedernal Mountain rises as the central landmark of this Torrance County landscape, defining the topography of the Pedernal Hills. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage features, most notably McGillivray Draw in the west and Pintada Draw in the northeast, which carve through the high-elevation grasslands of central New Mexico. The mapping reflects the structured layout of the Public Land Survey System, showing township and range lines such as t7n r12e and t8n r12e that dictate land ownership and cattle ranching boundaries. This survey documents a largely unpopulated region where the natural geology and vast watershed patterns remain the primary features of the land, providing essential data for those studying the physical geography and land management history of the area.
