2010 Map of Harriet Ranch

About this map

Jornada del Muerto defines the arid character of this high-desert basin in Socorro County. This 2010 survey illustrates the remote ranching and transit infrastructure established within a landscape famously known for its scarcity of water and challenging travel conditions. The central feature is the Harriet Ranch Headquarters, which stands as a localized hub of activity amidst the expanse. Further north, the map identifies Lava Station, a point along the transportation corridor that serves the region's sparse network of roads. The layout of section lines and isolated landmarks provides a clear view of how large-scale land management and ranching operations are organized in the New Mexico interior during the early 21st century.
