About this map

Los Tanos Cem sits in the southern reach of this Guadalupe County landscape, documenting the presence of early settlers near the winding course of Los Tanos Cr. The map reveals a ranching-dependent economy where water management is central to survival, evidenced by numerous named catchment features like Salitre Tank, Canyon Tank, and Upper Tank. The topography is dominated by the broad drainage of Sacaton Draw and the more defined Gonzales Cr to the north.

Human activity is scattered across the territory at sites like Double Mills and Gonzales Camp, connected by small local routes and Co Road Ida. The southern edge shows more contemporary infrastructure developments near Ratcliff, including the Ratcliff Ranch. Notable terrain markers like Boot Hill and the northern settlement of Barrajon provide specific geographic anchors for genealogists and researchers tracing the lineage of this rural New Mexico corridor.
