About this map

Tres Lagunas and the surrounding high-desert terrain of Catron County appear in this 2013 survey, defined by a network of drainage features and stock tanks essential to this arid environment. The landscape is characterized by prominent geographic markers like Freeland Arroyo, which winds through the northern sections near the small settlement of Lehew. This area reflects a reliance on livestock and private aviation, evidenced by ranching infrastructure and local airfields such as Poco Loco Airport and Dream Catcher Ranch Airport.

Genealogical and local history value is centered at the Tres Lagunas Cem, located near the southern edge of the map. Several named landmarks suggest the region's human history, including Veteado Camp and Bumpass. The map also captures numerous water catchment points like Schoolhouse Tank and Hubbell Tank, which trace the historical movement of cattle and people across the draws and canyons, including Homestead Draw and Still Canyon.
