2023 Map of Field Ranch

About this map

Gag Mesa dominates the southern portion of this high-desert landscape in Socorro and Cibola counties. The area is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainages and water management features, including Waterbury Draw, Chicken Mountain Draw, and Hippy Draw. These geographic features imply a landscape where water is a critical resource, evidenced by numerous tanks and springs such as School Section Tank, Coal Oil Johnnie Tank, and Gag Spring. Accessibility is provided by several primitive routes including Indian Svc Rte 54 and BIA Rd 55. In the southwest corner, a notable body of water labeled The Lake sits near the Cibola Co Socorro Co boundary, while the prominent peak of Cerro Pelon rises in the east, marking the transition into the neighboring mountains.
