2013 Map of Gibbons Ranch

About this map

Pecos River valley ranch lands define this landscape at the boundary of Guadalupe and De Baca counties. The northern reaches of Lake Sumner dominate the southeastern corner, where the river's flow is captured in a large reservoir. Historically, this area is characterized by the dispersed rural settlements of Gibbons and Los Ojitos, along with the namesake Gibbons Ranch. The infrastructure reflects a classic Southwestern ranching economy, with arterial routes like Us-84 cutting a straight path northwest toward the horizon, while secondary tracks like Co Road 2 and Co Road 2F provide access to remote pastures. Water sources remain critical features for the local geography, including the winding Arroyo Patrillito and the confluence of Alamogordo Creek with the larger river system.
