2013 Map of Fallon Ranch

About this map

Fallon Ranch and several other cattle operations define the high-desert geography of this Guadalupe County landscape in the early 21st century. The map reveals a network of remote family-named homesteads, including Johnson Ranch, Slaton Ranch, and Bray Ranch, connected by a web of local routes like Potrillo Rd and Werthco Rd. This pattern of settlement reflects the enduring legacy of large-scale ranching in eastern New Mexico, where life centers on isolated water sources such as Nickelson Well. Drainage is dominated by the winding paths of Arroyo Potrillo and Arroyo San Juan de Dios, which cut through the terrain. For those researching local burial sites or family history, the presence of Mt Zion Cem near the center of the survey provides a specific point of interest for genealogical study.
