About this map

Mc Cormick Ranch and the small settlement of Coyote occupy the high desert floor south of Albuquerque, situated where the terrain begins its ascent toward the Manzano Mts. The landscape is defined by its arid drainage systems, notably Hells Canyon Wash and Cañada Colorada, which cut through the southern portion of the sheet. This area marks a significant junction of land jurisdictions, with the Sandia Military Reservation bordering the northern expanse and the Isleta Pueblo Grant covering the central and southern reaches.

Critical water sources like Hubbell Spring and Ojo de la Cabra provide historical context for the settlement patterns in this part of the Rio Grande valley. Transportation is sparse, represented by Hell Canyon Road and a Radio Range Sta, reflecting the transition from mid-century ranching life to modern infrastructure. A solitary Cem near Hells Canyon offers a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking early families of the Bernalillo and Valencia County borderlands.
