2017 Map of Cooper Ranch

About this map

Cooper Ranch serves as the namesake and primary human landmark in this section of the New Mexico landscape, situated right at the boundary between Guadalupe and De Baca counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Salado Cr, which cuts through the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a high-plateau environment where the grid of public land survey sections meets a sparse network of rural roads. These local routes, including Salado Rd, Shady Rock Rd, and Co Rd 1-31, provide the only access across the vast stretches of open land. The survey details the transition between townships T5N and T3N, illustrating the immense scale of individual ranching holdings and the isolation of the Eastern New Mexico plains.
