2013 Map of Pedernal

About this map

Pedernal sits in a high-plains landscape where the vast open ranching lands of Torrance County meet the engineering of the mid-century highway system. This 2013 survey illustrates the settlement patterns of a rural New Mexico community centered around Pedernal and the nearby locale of Dummoor. The geography is defined by its simple transportation network, primarily the cross-state artery of Us-60, which cuts a straight line across the center of the quadrangle. Local movement is facilitated by rural routes like Co Road C057 and Co Road C037, which follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map provides a clear view of the township and range divisions, specifically where t6n r11e and t5n r12e meet, offering a precise look at how this arid terrain was partitioned for settlement.
