2020 Map of Circle Bar Ranch

About this map

Circle Bar Ranch and the elevated terrain of the Black Hills define this corner of Harding County. This semi-arid landscape is etched by the drainage patterns of Tequesquite Cr and Arroyo de la Cejita, where water management and ranching infrastructure like Steele Windmill are essential to the rural economy. The map illustrates a highly organized township and range system, marked by the boundaries of t19n r30e and t18n r31e, which dictate the alignment of local thoroughfares such as Libby Rd and Bart Cross Rd. This 2020 survey documents the enduring spatial legacy of cattle ranching in the high plains of northeastern New Mexico, where large holdings and natural watercourses continue to shape the community's footprint.
