About this map

Philmont Scout Ranch occupies a significant portion of this high-altitude landscape, situated within the historic Beaubien and Miranda Grant (Maxwell). The map details a network of outdoor camps and specialized landmarks such as Rocky Mountain Scout Camp, Zastrow Camp, and the prominent Tooth of Time Ridge. The presence of the Headquarters and Nairn Place indicates the established administrative and residential hubs within the grant.

Hydrological features and terrain define the movement through this area, with the Cimarron River and Cimmaroncito Creek cutting through the northeast. Water sources for campers and livestock are specifically identified, including Hagerdon Lake and the aptly named Backache Spring and Toothache Spring. The map also captures infrastructure like the Landing Strip and a Trans Line, alongside named grazing areas like Buffalo Pasture.
