About this map

Bryantine Cemetery sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, serving as a primary point of historical interest in a region defined by ranching and water scarcity. The terrain is marked by intermittent watercourses like Carros Creek, Conejo Creek, and Wynn Creek, which dictate the placement of small settlements and camps. These drainages converge toward the Romero Draw and the Gravel Hills to the north, creating a network of seasonal hydrology essential for local survival.

Remote outposts such as McCuistion Camp and the namesake Hampton Ranch illustrate the sparse but deliberate human footprint here. The map records an extensive infrastructure of groundwater management, featuring numerous named sites like Ramirez Windmill, John Pool Windmill, and the Gap Well. These points of interest, along with Ramirez Spring and The Spring, reveal the critical importance of reliable water sources to the families and ranching operations of San Miguel County.
