About this map

The high plains of Torrance County are defined here by a network of isolated homesteads and essential water infrastructure during the early 21st century. Scattered throughout the landscape are legacy holdings such as Gustins Ranch, McGoragill Ranch, and Pound Ranch, illustrating the endurance of large-scale ranching in this arid environment. The survival of these operations is marked by specific landmarks like Devaney Windmill and Beedle Windmill, which signify the critical importance of groundwater access in a region otherwise dominated by dry features like Pueblo Blanco Canyon. A grid of county thoroughfares, including County Rd-B033 and County Rd-B084, connects these remote outposts across the high desert terrain.
