2023 Map of Cimarron

About this map

Cimarron sits at the confluence of several major canyon systems where the Cimarron River meets the plains of northeastern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by its transition from high terrain like Antelope Mesa and Slate Hill into the deep drainage basins of Ponil Creek and its many tributaries, including South Ponil Creek and North Ponil Creek. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern layout of the settlement, showing residential streets such as Maxwell Blvd and Pinon Ave alongside historical landmarks like the Chase Ranch Cem. The convergence of numerous trails, including the Dean Trl and Mcbride Trl, suggests a geography deeply shaped by ranching and transit through the canyons. Notable local features like French Lake and the distinctive Indian Head formation provide specific points of interest for those studying the physical and cultural geography of the Lambert Hill area.
