2023 Map of Pedernal Mountain

About this map

Pedernal Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in this high-plains landscape of Torrance County, anchoring the northern reach of the Pedernal Hills. The topography here is defined by broad, rolling elevations and the subtle drainage of Pintada Draw to the northeast. This 2023 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region where the primary infrastructure consists of local routes like Co Rd 88 and Co Rd C091. The map reveals a highly structured legal landscape, heavily partitioned by the Public Land Survey System into numerous townships and ranges, including t7n r12e and t7n r11.5e. This grid-heavy layout implies a history of land management and ranching allotments typical of the New Mexico interior, where large tracts of open ground are meticulously surveyed for ownership and administration.
