2017 Map of Comanche Ranch

About this map

Comanche Ranch sits at the center of this arid landscape, straddling the boundary between Valencia and Socorro Counties. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainages, including the Arroyo Comanche, Arroyo Monte Largo, and Arroyo Alamito, which cut through the high plains. Water management is a primary feature of the local topography, evidenced by a dense network of catchment tanks such as Middle Tank, Bryce Tank, and the Click Tank Number 1 and Click Tank Number 2 pair. These features, along with Coyote Spring and Coyote Draw, illustrate the critical importance of water infrastructure for ranching operations in this high-altitude New Mexico environment. Local transit is limited primarily to Co Rd 12 in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
