2023 Map of Thorn Well

About this map

El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro Nht Trl bisects this high desert landscape, tracing a historical corridor of movement through Doña Ana County. This modern survey illustrates the contemporary management of this centuries-old trail, now designated as a National Historic Trail, as it winds through the arid terrain between the Co Rd E075a and Co Rd E070 corridors. The landscape is primarily defined by its drainage patterns and section lines, with small-scale water features like Lake Tank providing rare points of reference in the open range. Utility and access infrastructure, including Power Line Rd and a network of county roads such as Co Rd E073 and Co Rd E074, overlay the historical paths, showing how current transit and power needs utilize the same geographical passes as travelers from previous eras.
