About this map

Duncan Ranch sits at the center of this 2010 topographic study, situated along County Rd-B011 in a region defined by an extensive network of drainage basins and canyons. The landscape is marked by the presence of industrial or resource activity at Nunn Lease and Nunn S State Lease, indicating the land's utility beyond traditional ranching. Water management is a primary feature of this arid terrain, with scattered points of interest such as Outlaw Well, North Well, and Indian Well providing vital resources.

The topography is deeply etched by features like Outlaw Canyon, Parks Canyon, and Tenaga Canyon, alongside prominent washes such as Sikes Draw and Ricketson Draw. To the north, Arroyo Jaralosa cuts across the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology of Sierra County. This map provides a clear look at how human infrastructure, from remote ranch holdings to resource leases, adapts to the natural contours of the New Mexico desert.
