About this map

Field Ranch serves as the namesake landmark for this New Mexico landscape, which straddles the boundary between Cibola and Socorro counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and seasonal water sources, featuring prominent landforms like Gag Mesa and Cottonwood Draw Mesa in the south, and the peak of Cerro Pelon to the east. These mesas overlook a network of dry washes and ephemeral drainage systems such as Cañada Bonita and Chicken Mountain Draw.

Water management in this arid environment is evident through a series of named tanks and springs scattered across the township and range divisions. Local reliance on these features is reflected in labels like School Section Tank, Coal Oil Johnnie Tank, and Paint Tank. Grounded transportation is facilitated by Bia RD 55 and Forest RD 123, which provide access through the complex topography of draws and mesas that characterize the Eastern Navajo Agency region.
