Monte Prieto Ranch and its accompanying Monte Prieto Ranch Airport anchor the western edge of this Socorro County landscape. The terrain is defined by the prominent elevation of Cat Mesa, which rises above a network of desert routes and drainage systems. This 2013 survey illustrates the sparse, high-desert settlement patterns of the region, where isolated outposts like Copeland and Petross are connected by a grid of county roads and more significant thoroughfares such as WSMR S Route 41.
