2017 Map of Circle Bar Ranch

About this map

Circle Bar Ranch and the isolated Steele Windmill define the human footprint in this corner of Harding County. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the ranching landscape of northeastern New Mexico, where water sources like Tequesquite Cr and the Arroyo de la Cejita dictate the placement of local infrastructure. The terrain is dominated by the elevations of the Black Hills, which rise prominently above the surrounding plains. Local connectivity is maintained through a sparse network of dirt and gravel routes, including BART Cross RD and Libby RD. This map provides a clear view of land management and drainage patterns in a high-desert environment, capturing the spatial relationship between namesake ranching operations and the natural landmarks that surround them.
