About this map

Torrey Peak rises above a sprawling ranching landscape in Oldham County, defined by a complex network of ephemeral waterways and essential livestock infrastructure. The terrain transitions from the high ground of Torrey Flats down to the rugged breaks of The Cedar Brakes, where the drainage of Middle Alamosa Creek and Ledger Creek carves through the Panhandle earth.

Water management is the central theme of this 2010 survey, evidenced by the numerous named windmills and tanks that sustain this arid environment. Key landmarks include Torrey Peak Camp and the Big Torra Tank Dam in the northwest, while remote sites like Lost Cabin Windmill and Espendiza Windmill hint at the long history of land use in this sparsely populated region. The map provides a detailed view of the winding paths of West Alamosa Creek and Billys Creek as they navigate the basin.
