2013 Map of Cooper Ranch

About this map

Cooper Ranch sits at the northern edge of the De Baca County line in this high-plains landscape, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of Salado Cr. This 2013 survey reveals a sparsely settled ranching region where infrastructure is primarily composed of utilitarian county roads like Co Road 1-31 and Salado Rd. The map illustrates the expansive grid of the Public Land Survey System, spanning townships such as t4n r23e and t5n r22e. A single isolated landmark, the Upper Wagon Windmill, serves as a critical water point for livestock in this arid environment. The map captures the quiet persistence of New Mexico ranching life, centered on large land holdings and essential water features rather than town centers.
