2004 Map of Arroyo Serrano West

About this map

Armstrong Ranch and Purcella Ranch stand as prominent markers of the pastoral land use that has long defined this high-desert portion of Lincoln County. The landscape is dominated by the northern reaches of the Capitan Mountains and the vast expanse of the Lincoln National Forest, where drainage networks like Arroyo Serrano and Arroyo Seco carve through the terrain. The inclusion of the Plainview School and various family holdings, such as Lowes Ranch and Brills Ranch, provides a detailed look at the rural settlement patterns that persisted into the early 21st century. Industrial and utility infrastructure is also noted, including a Communication Facility and a Gravel Pit, alongside smaller water features like Lonetree Lake.
