About this map

Torreon Navajo Mission serves as a central landmark in this landscape of the Eastern Navajo Agency, where the community of Torreon and the smaller Wolf Stand are situated along a network of canyon and wash systems. The map details a sophisticated water management infrastructure essential for high-desert life, featuring dozens of named livestock tanks such as Old Hogan Tank, Big Cornfield Tank, and Shelf Rock Tank.

The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features including Trujillo Cañon and Cañon Medio, while Black Mtn provides a prominent high point. Transportation in this part of Sandoval County is facilitated by NM-197 and specialized routes like Mission Rd and Torreon Mission Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and mission sites. Intermittent drainages like San Isidro Wash and Arroyo Piedra Lumbre carve through the sections, dictating the placement of roads and settlement patterns.
