1996 Map of Timpas

About this map

The Santa Fe National Historic Trail cuts a diagonal path through this portion of Otero County, following the same corridor as the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. Much of the landscape is dominated by the Comanche National Grassland, where the high plains environment is etched by seasonal watercourses like West Dry Creek and Timpas Creek. In the late 20th century, the small settlement of Timpas remains a focal point near several Historical Markers and a small Cem, while Ayer serves as a named siding or station further south along the rail line. The presence of Brown Reservoir and various water features like the Flowing Well underscores the importance of water management in this arid grazing territory, while the Hoe Ranch and Red Rock Road indicate the local ranching infrastructure.
