About this map

Mount Zion Cem sits at the heart of this high plains landscape in Guadalupe County, serving as a quiet landmark amidst the vast ranching country. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Arroyo San Juan de Dios and Arroyo Potrillo, which cut through the open range. These ephemeral watercourses dictate the local geography, influencing the placement of homesteads and the network of county roads.

The namesake Fallon Ranch occupies the southeastern portion of the map, connected to the wider region by a grid of named routes like Sneed Rd and Werthco Rd. This 2017 survey illustrates the enduring patterns of New Mexico's rural land divisions, showing the intersection of township boundaries such as t7n r23e and t7n r24e. The map offers a precise look at modern cattle country where infrastructure is sparse and tied directly to the land.
