2017 Map of Cimarron SE

About this map

Vermejo River and the high desert canyons of Colfax County define this terrain in the northern New Mexico ranchlands. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems including Bat Canyon, Coal Canyon, and Van Bremmer Canyon, which lead toward the expansive flats to the southeast. While much of the territory remains open rangeland, the presence of Van Bremmer Rd and FR 1950 provides a trace of the local transportation network utilized by area ranchers and land managers. In the lower elevations, water resources like Number 2 Lake and Ponil Cr stand out as critical landmarks in an otherwise arid environment. The map captures the transition from steep-walled canyons like Cerrososo Canyon to the broad basins where seasonal creeks such as Encinosa Cr converge.
