Cibola National Forest encompasses the majority of this high-elevation landscape in Socorro County, where water sources are vital landmarks for navigation and land use. The presence of numerous named pumping sites, such as the John Henry Windmill, Rincon Windmill, and Ramsey Windmill, underscores the importance of groundwater for ranching operations in this arid region. These functional landmarks, often named for local families or geographical positions like the Road Windmill, serve as anchors for historical land use patterns.
