2013 Map of Briscoe Ranch

About this map

Briscoe Ranch serves as a central landmark within this high-plains landscape of eastern New Mexico. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses, including Blanca Cr, Bluewater Cr, and Charco Cr, which carve through the high elevations. To the southwest, the prominent rise of Mesa Quemado overlooks the surrounding territory, illustrating the dramatic topography of Quay County. Scattered small settlements and points of interest such as Kilgore and Jose are connected by a grid of rural routes like Quay Road 55 and Quay Road AT. The map captures a moment in the early twenty-first century when the area remained primarily ranch land, with its drainage patterns flowing toward Garcia Cr and Paris Cr in the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
