2023 Map of Gibbons Ranch

About this map

Pecos River waters define this arid landscape where the river flows into the northern reaches of Lake Sumner. The map highlights the transition between the rolling uplands of eastern New Mexico and the significant reservoir system that dominates the local geography. Scattered ranch roads like Smokey Draw Rd and Sneed Rd provide access to the expansive terrain surrounding the water, reflecting the area's ongoing reliance on cattle ranching and recreational land use. The boundary between Guadalupe and De Baca counties cuts through the center of the lake, underscoring the administrative divisions in this sparsely populated region. Settlement is concentrated near the water at Lake Sumner and the locality of Los Ojitos, where the confluence of Arroyo Potrillo and the river creates a focal point for the regional hydrologic network.
