2023 Map of White Lakes

About this map

Arroyo Jara and its seasonal drainages define this stretch of Santa Fe County, where the topography of the High Plains meets the intermittent watercourses of the desert southwest. This modern survey illustrates the persistent ranching and transportation infrastructure that characterizes the region, centered on the White Lakes Rd corridor. Named landmarks like Big Draw, Kinsell Draw, and Armijo Draw reveal how natural erosion patterns have shaped local navigation and land use for generations. The landscape is sparse, marked primarily by isolated water features such as Spring Tank and a network of secondary routes including Rough Rd and Co Rd 34. These features provide a clear view of the rural township and range system, showing the enduring spatial organization of this part of New Mexico into the early twenty-first century.
