About this map

Salado Creek cuts through this high plains region of Guadalupe County, serving as a primary geographic landmark for the ranching operations that define the area. The landscape is characterized by its wide-open spaces and essential water infrastructure, including the North Salado Windmill and the evocative High Lonesome Windmill. Ranching history is anchored by the Good Ranch in the west and Overton Ranch situated further south along the county road network. The grid of roads, including County Rd-1-35 and County Rd-1-37, facilitates movement between these remote outposts and the scattered Gillum Windmill, reflecting the specialized requirements of livestock management in the arid New Mexico climate during the early twenty-first century.
