2013 Map of Santo Nino Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
Santo Niño Canyon and the high desert terrain of Torrance County define this landscape, where early 21st-century land use is marked by isolated water infrastructure and ranching outposts. The map reveals a network of canyons, including Viejo Canyon and Gato Canyon, which slice through the plateau. Strategic water sources like Alvas Tank and Cañoncito Tank point to the critical role of livestock management in this arid environment. Evidence of human settlement is concentrated at Garcia Ranch, while natural landmarks such as Lobo Hill dominate the topography. The presence of NM-3 and several county roads, including Co Road c098, provides a sense of the modern transportation corridors that connect this otherwise sparsely populated ranching country.
