2013 Map of Harriet Ranch

About this map

Jornada del Muerto dominates the terrain of this 2013 survey in Socorro County, New Mexico. This portion of the expansive high desert basin shows a landscape characterized by intermittent water features and isolated ranching activity. The settlement at Harriet Ranch serves as a primary landmark in a region defined by its wide, open drainage patterns and subtle elevation shifts. Toward the eastern edge of the quadrangle, Lambing Lake and Lambing Tank provide evidence of water management and seasonal hydrology essential for livestock and local wildlife. The map captures the Public Land Survey System divisions between t8s r1e and t9s r2e, illustrating the geometric grid overlaid on this arid environment during the early 21st century.
