2010 Map of Fuentes Ranch

About this map

Ute Creek winds through this sparsely populated ranching landscape in Harding County, tracing a path through the arid terrain of northeastern New Mexico. This 2010 survey illustrates the continued importance of water and isolated outposts in the high plains economy, where named locations often represent private operations or essential infrastructure. The map highlights the eponymous Fuentes Ranch and the nearby settlement of Cluck, alongside the South Honeycutt Windmill, a critical landmark for water management in this dry region. These features, connected by a network of local tracks and County Road F, reflect a landscape defined by large-scale land holdings and the practical necessities of rural life at the start of the twenty-first century.
