About this map

Cedar Grove and the surrounding ranchlands of Santa Fe County are defined by wide drainage basins and a scattered network of family-held properties. This high-desert landscape is incised by the seasonal watercourse of Cañada de la Narrias, which flows toward the southern draws. The area's mid-twentieth-century settlement pattern is visible through named holdings like P Simmons Place, Van Scoyk Ranch, and King Bros Ranch.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the legacy of the Hyer community near the Hyer Cem, while the modern utility of the land is noted by the Big Sky Airport and various rural developments along NM-472. The map provides a look at the transition between historic grazing lands and newer rural residential divisions, evidenced by the named streets like Stallion Rd and Prairiewood Ln appearing alongside established tracts like the J Yates Ranch and F Yates Ranch.
