2023 Map of Tejon

About this map

Tejon and Carnero sit in a high-elevation landscape along the boundary between Torrance Co and Guadalupe Co. This contemporary survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the central New Mexico uplands, where the grid of the Public Land Survey System—including townships like t5n r15e and t4n r16e—remains the primary organizational structure of the land. Road networks are sparse, primarily consisting of local connectors such as Co Rd Co28 and Horace Rd that weave through the undulating terrain. The proximity of these small settlements to the county line suggests a region where transportation routes were historically dictated by the natural contours of the high desert rather than dense urban development.
