L-E Ranch serves as the namesake for this high desert landscape, characterized by sparse ranching infrastructure and broad topographic features. The cattle-country economy is marked by essential water sources and landmarks like the Petty Windmill and Causy Windmill, which provide necessary relief in an arid environment. Notable landforms include the prominent Mesa Diablo and the evocative El Camino Del Diablo, while Long Arroyo and Long Arroyo Draw define the local drainage patterns. A network of rural routes, including Ponderosa Rd and various county roads like County Rd-54, connects the isolated ranch outposts across the plains. This survey provides a look at the modern layout of these large landholdings, preserving the locations of specific ranch sites and small-scale water management features like Red Lake Tank.
