1987 Map of Cimarron
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
Philmont Scout Ranch dominates this landscape in northern New Mexico, where the high desert meets the canyon-cut terrain of the Beaubien and Miranda Grant (Maxwell). The town of Cimarron sits at the confluence of the Cimarron River and Ponil Creek, serving as a central hub for the surrounding backcountry camps. Notable sites like Indian Writings Camp, Dean Cow Camp, and Turkey Canyon Camp are connected by a network of 4WD tracks and trails through the rugged north and south forks of Ponil Creek. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and a Gravel Pit near French Lake points to the area's industrial and transportation history, while the Rodeo Ground and Athletic Field reflect the local culture of the town site. Topographical features like Slate Hill and Antelope Mesa define the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
