2013 Map of Alamo Ranch

About this map

Alamo Ranch sits within a landscape defined by critical water management and the rugged cattle-ranching traditions of De Baca County. This 2013 survey reveals a vast network of infrastructure dedicated to sustaining livestock in an arid environment, where named wells and windmills serve as the primary landmarks across the rangeland. Features such as Miles Windmill, Orchard Windmill, and Pennington Well are more than simple utility points; they mark the historic grazing territories and family operations that have shaped this region's economy for generations. The drainage patterns of Yeso Cr, Guana Draw, and Alamo Draw carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of roads like Renegade Rd and Tumbleweed Rd. The presence of NM-20 provides the main arterial connection through this sparsely populated territory, linking these remote ranching outposts to the wider world.
