2010 Map of Alto De Hormiga

About this map

Arroyo Piedra Lumbre snakes through this high-plains landscape in Mora County, serving as the primary drainage for the surrounding terrain. The map captures a transition in early 21st-century land use where large agricultural holdings like the Red River Ranch dominate the northeastern corner. Settlement is sparse, represented by small clusters and named locales such as Wengert and Montoya, which reflect the region's enduring ranching heritage. The topography is defined by the prominent Alto de Hormiga rise in the west and the seasonal watercourses of Cañada Ensinosa. This 2010 survey illustrates the intersection of traditional northern New Mexico ranching tracts with the established road network, showing how local infrastructure follows the natural contours of the arroyos and ridges.
