2013 Map of Round Top

About this map

The high desert landscape of Torrance County is anchored by Round Top, a prominent summit surrounded by a complex system of drainage draws and canyons. This 2013 survey reveals a territory defined by its water management, where numerous catchments like Gate Tank, Indian Tank, and Drum Tank support the ranching operations of the region. The Round Top Cem provides a focal point for genealogical interest, situated near the head of Rogers Canyon and Dead Dog Canyon. To the south, the terrain levels into the expansive Liberty Valley and the distinctive Mesa de los Jumanos. The presence of landmarks such as the Two-legged Windmill and various family-named features like Guy's Tank and Bessie Tank illustrate the human imprint on this arid environment, where county roads like Co Road 8065 and Co Road 8074 navigate the transition from mesas to valley floors.
