2023 Map of Bar Y Ranch

About this map

Bar Y Dome rises as a central geological landmark in this high-desert portion of eastern New Mexico, where the boundary between San Miguel Co and Guadalupe Co bisects a landscape defined by seasonal water and cattle ranching infrastructure. The drainage of Esteros Creek winds through the southern half of the quadrangle, punctuated by essential water sources for livestock such as Puertocito Lake and Poso Tank. To the north, the terrain is shaped by the presence of Sabino Springs and Sabino Lake, alongside the eastward-flowing Pino Creek. A network of local ranch roads, including Jonnell Rd, Cowden Rd, and Singlecow Rd, connects remote holdings across the mesa and into Box Canyon, illustrating the modern spatial organization of these expansive southwestern rangelands.
