2020 Map of Cornucopia Ranch

About this map

Cornucopia Ranch sits as the central landmark of this high-desert Otero County landscape, defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and essential ranching infrastructure. The terrain is characterized by the Cornucopia Hills and the Collins Hills, which overlook a vast system of draws and washes including Jernigan Wash, Moccasin Draw, and McLane Draw. In this arid environment, water management is the primary human footprint, evidenced by numerous named catchment points like Venado Tank, Middle Rincon Tank, and Lucky Tank. The presence of features like Dry Lakes and Lake Tank highlights the cyclical nature of water in this basin and range country. Local access is provided by county roads such as Co RD e038 and Co RD e025, which trace the low-lying paths between the rugged hills and ephemeral draws.
