2010 Map of El Morro Ranch NW

About this map

Perez Ranch stands as a primary point of human habitation in this arid portion of Guadalupe County. The landscape is defined by its water management infrastructure, specifically the scattered windmills essential for ranching operations in this high-desert environment. These features, including the Upper Brehedo Windmill, McGee Windmill, Little Boney Windmill, and Old Boney Windmill, suggest a reliance on subterranean aquifers to support livestock across the open range. The natural drainage of the land follows features like the Cañada de Brehedo and the wide San Pablo Draw, while County Rd 3F provides the principal north-south transit corridor through the territory. This 2010 survey highlights the persistent ranching patterns and traditional land use that characterize the rural New Mexico interior.
