2013 Map of Fuentes Ranch

About this map

The high plains of Harding County define this landscape, where the isolated Fuentes Ranch and the nearby Cluck settlement represent the sparse human footprint in this part of northeastern New Mexico. Located along the winding route of NM-39, these locations are tied to the ranching heritage of the region, which relies on vital water infrastructure like the South Honeycutt Windmill found in the northern sections. The map reveals a transition from flat tablelands to more complex, incised drainage patterns in the southern half, where Rosebud Rd intersects the local road network. This survey preserves the exact placement of these rural homesteads and transport corridors before further modern changes to the high desert ranching economy.
