About this map

Marmon Ranch serves as a primary reference point in this arid landscape of Cibola County, where the terrain is defined by dramatic volcanic and erosional features. The map details a high-desert environment where water sources like Alkali Spring and Eddleman Spring are critical landmarks. Significant landforms including Petoch Butte, Badger Butte, and Mush Mtn rise above the surrounding drainage systems of Big Sandy Wash and the Arroyo Colorado.

Transport through this isolated region is marked by Indian Service 541 and Rte 49, illustrating the specialized infrastructure of the New Mexico interior. The presence of Martin Tank and the various washes suggests a landscape shaped by seasonal water management and grazing. This survey provides an essential view of the traditional ranching and public land divisions within the township and range system near the base of the Petaca Pinta wilderness area.
