1995 Map of Arrosa Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Arrosa Ranch and Porter Ranch anchor this high-desert landscape in west-central New Mexico, where cattle ranching meets the dramatic geological formations of the Lava flows. The area is defined by its complex jurisdictional boundaries, showing the convergence of the Cibola National Forest, El Malpais National Monument, and the El Malpais National Conservation Area. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Cerritos de Jaspe and Bonita Canyon in the north to the distinctive volcanic topography of the Little Hole in the Wall. Cultural history is traced along the Zuni Acoma Trail, which traverses the eastern side of the quadrangle. Early resource extraction is evidenced by scattered mines, prospects, and a Gravel Pit, providing a detailed look at the land use patterns prior to the mid-1990s.
