About this map

Alegres Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape in Catron County, New Mexico, where ranching and local cemeteries define the sparse human presence. The geography is marked by seasonal drainage patterns such as San Ignacio Creek and the notable Pancake Draw to the northwest. Human activity is largely organized around early ranching sites like W Bar Ranch and the small settlement at Garnett.

Researching families will find significant local history at the Johnson Cemetery and Divide Cemetery, which serve as quiet landmarks along the rural road network. The map reveals a system of local routes including Ed Jones Rd and Greens Gap Rd, connecting remote flats like Dees Flat to the broader region. This survey provides a clear look at the terrain before contemporary development altered these traditional ranching lands.
