2013 Map of McCloy Ranch

About this map

McCloy Ranch sits at the heart of this rangeland landscape in northeastern New Mexico, where the high plains meet the transition between Harding and Quay counties. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching territory characterized by a network of rural routes, including Nara Visa Rd and Rosebud Rd, which trace the gentle topographic undulations of the region. The layout of these roads, such as Co Road G and Co Road I-1, suggests the enduring importance of large-scale land holdings and the infrastructure required to manage them in a semi-arid environment. This 2013 survey provides a detailed record of the township and range divisions, illustrating how the Public Land Survey System continues to define the spatial organization of this western terrain.
