2013 Map of Progresso SW

About this map

Mesa de los Jumanos dominates the high desert landscape of central New Mexico, where the borders of Torrance, Socorro, and Lincoln counties converge. This 2013 survey documents a remote ranching environment characterized by seasonal water management and wide-open grazing lands. The presence of Achinson Ranch and family-named landmarks like Atkinson Flats and the Atkinson Windmill highlight the area's agricultural heritage. Much of the terrain is protected as part of the Cibola National Forest, showing a network of forest roads and county routes such as Co Road B080. Water sources are vital but sparse, represented by man-made catchments like Mesa Trick Tank and Horse Pasture Tank, which are essential for livestock in this arid upland region.
