2020 Map of Tolar

About this map

Tolar sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, situated along a primary transportation corridor that traverses the undulating terrain of eastern New Mexico. The map documents a rural environment where life follows the natural contours of ephemeral waterways like Painter Jim Cr and Sand Cr. Evidence of the area's established community is centered at the Tolar Cem, located just south of the main settlement area near Roosevelt Road 12 N. The boundary between De Baca and Roosevelt counties bisects the quadrangle, highlighting the intersection of administrative lines and natural features such as Stinking Spring and the drainage of Alamosa Cr. This 2020 survey illustrates a quiet ranching landscape defined by expansive open spaces and a network of named county roads like Cedar Post Rd and Rousing Rd.
