2017 Map of White Lakes

About this map

White Lakes and the seasonally active channels of the high desert define this portion of Santa Fe County. The landscape is marked by significant drainage features such as Arroyo Jara, which cuts through the northern sections, and the broad depressions of Big Draw, Kinsell Draw, and Armijo Draw. This topography illustrates a traditional Southwestern rangeland, where water management is centralized at sites like Spring Tank. The transportation network is sparse but functional, centered on White Lakes Rd and the aptly named Rough Rd, reflecting the remote and utilitarian character of the region. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships t12n r11e and t11n r10e, essential for researchers tracing land ownership and property boundaries in this open territory.
