About this map

Field Ranch and Pino Place anchor this 2013 survey of the high desert landscape where Cibola and Socorro counties meet. The terrain is defined by dramatic mesas and deep draws, with prominent features like Gag Mesa and Cottonwood Draw Mesa rising above the plains. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by a network of named springs and tanks including Elias Spring, Gag Spring, and the uniquely named Coal Oil Johnnie Tank.

Evidence of ranching life and land use is found throughout, with Ojo Palo Blanco and Dog Hole providing reliable water sources for livestock across the varied topography. Transportation through this part of the Eastern Navajo Agency is facilitated by Indian Rte 55 and Buricito Rd, which navigate around landmarks like Cerro Pelon and through the seasonal drainages of Waterbury Draw and Cañada Bonita.
