About this map

Alamo Ranch sits in the high-desert expanse of De Baca County, marking a localized pocket of human activity within a landscape defined by seasonal drainages. This recent survey illustrates the modern road network and ranching infrastructure that supports this portion of New Mexico. The terrain is bisected by the winding course of Yeso Cr, which flows generally southeastward, while Alamo Draw and Guana Draw provide natural drainage patterns for the surrounding plateaus. These water-related features were essential for establishing early livestock operations in this arid region.

Transportation throughout the quadrangle is facilitated by a grid of rural routes including Renegade Rd and Altito Rd. Smaller infrastructure such as Red Tank appears as a critical water source for the ranch, highlighting the persistent importance of managed water for desert survival and industry. The map captures the intersection of established township boundaries and modern naming conventions seen in roads like Roadrunner Rd and Cibola Rd.
