2013 Map of Tolar

About this map

Tolar sits along the shared boundary of De Baca and Roosevelt Counties, serving as a primary point of interest on this high-plains landscape. The settlement is positioned along the vital transportation corridor of Us-60 84, which cuts through the center of the region. Local history is anchored at the Tolar Cem and the small community of Cooper to the south. The terrain is defined by ephemeral drainages and essential water sources for ranching, including the aptly named Stinking Spring and various landmarks like Lake Windmill and East Bell Windmill. Named creek beds such as Painter Jim Cr, Alamosa Cr, and Taiban Cr reveal the natural drainage patterns that have dictated land use and settlement in this arid section of New Mexico.
