Torreon Mission Cemetery is on the East side of Torreon Mission Road, across from Torreon Navajo Mission on the West side of the road.. The original Torreon Mission Cemetery is also on the West side of the road. A local resident reported to us, on Memorial Day 2020, that both cemeteries are the "Torreon Mission Cemetery", with the West one known as the old cemetery, and this cemetery, about 1,000 feet away on the East side of Torreon Mission Road, known as the new cemetery.
Identification of the cemeteries is further complicated by the fact that there is -another- Torreon, NM, in Torrence County, near Estancia and Mountainair, with two cemeteries in -that- Torreon having names that include "Torreon." And, as if that's not enough, there's a Torreon Cemetery in McKinley County!
This Torreon Mission Cemetery (new) comprises about four total acres, vaguely in the shape of a dumbbell. The West section is apparently nearing capacity, as about 20 interments have been made in the East section along the eastern boundary. I estimate there are 350 interments. Every grave to which I turned my brief attention had flowers. Parking is just outside the gated entrance.
