2020 Map of Briscoe Ranch

About this map

Briscoe Ranch serves as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of eastern New Mexico, where the terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses. The drainage patterns are dominated by Bluewater Cr and Charco Cr, which carve through the plains. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the distinct elevation of Mesa Quemado, a prominent landform overlooking the surrounding basin. This area in Quay County remains primarily rural and ranch-oriented, with a grid of secondary routes such as Quay Road 55 and Quay Road At providing the only modern access. The map reveals the intricate natural topography of the Llano Estacado's edges, where Garcia Cr and Paris Cr transition through the arid environment.
