About this map

Techado serves as the central point of reference in this landscape of high desert drainage systems and dramatic topography. The settlement is positioned near where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail traverses the eastern half of the map, tracing a route through the rugged breaks of McQuery Canyon and Lathert Canyon. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including the heights of Hogeye Mtn and Cerro Blanco, which rise above a network of dry washes and seasonal watercourses.

A complex system of draws, such as Techado Draw, Single Mill Draw, and Sonoreno Draw, illustrates the natural irrigation patterns of the region. Local infrastructure is sparse, characterized by rural routes like Hubbell Rd and Cibola Co Rd 40 that navigate the varied elevations. Notable landmarks such as Hogeye Spring and the isolated peak of Gobbler Knob provide further orientation for those tracing the historical geography of the Cibola and Catron county borderlands.
