About this map

The C S Cattle Company ranch lands define much of this High Plains landscape where the Vermejo River and Cimarron River converge toward the Canadian River. Located in Colfax County, this area showcases the intersection of industrial ranching and water management, visible through the extensive network of the Highline Canal, the N Ditch, and the City Reservoir.

Small local crossroads and settlements such as French, Toril, Dennis, and French Corners are situated along the primary transport corridors of Colfax Rd and the frontage roads. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages like Ladd Arroyo and Dry Arroyo, which cut through the benchlands east of the Sangre de Cristo foothills. The map provides a detailed look at the 2013 road infrastructure and rural land divisions common to this part of northeastern New Mexico.
