About this map

Rock Lake and Texas Lake sit as isolated water bodies in this high-altitude landscape of Torrance County, captured during a 1970s Geological Survey. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage patterns, including the winding Rattlesnake Draw in the northwest and Mc Gillivray Draw in the southwest. A prominent Red Canyon cuts through the central-western portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex erosional history of this region. Human activity in the area is marked by a long industrial pipeline that traverses the northern sections, alongside several gravel pits that suggest local resource extraction. The map serves as a record of the rural land divisions at the intersection of Range 11 East and Range 12 East, where the transition between Township 9 North and Township 8 North occurs amidst a network of unimproved roads and survey sections.
