2013 Map of Gallegos NE

About this map

The high plains of Harding County are characterized by a network of ranching infrastructure and isolated camps in this 2013 survey. McCarty West Camp sits in the northern reaches, while Cooper Ranch occupies the southern terrain, illustrating the persistent cattle-rearing economy of the region. The map reveals the critical importance of water management in this arid landscape, documented through numerous named watering points such as South Windmill, Rockwell Windmill, and the Twin Honeycutt Windmills. Access is provided by several secondary routes including Salt Lakes Rd and Highwell Rd, which connect these remote operations. The land is precisely divided by township and range lines, such as t17n r31e and t18n r32e, reflecting the enduring Public Land Survey System structure that organizes this corner of New Mexico.
