2020 Map of Neafus Ranch

About this map

Neafus Ranch sits within a landscape defined by deep drainage channels and significant relief along the border of San Miguel Co and Guadalupe Co. The drainage network is particularly complex here, featuring the headwaters and branches of Little Cuervo Cr, Cuervo Creek, and La Manga Cr. These watercourses have carved out significant features such as Cañon Bonita, which dominates the central western portion of the quadrangle. The presence of Co Rd Ifa provides the primary transit through this ranching country. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t11n r25e showing the grid-based settlement pattern typical of the New Mexico high plains, where water sources and topography dictated the placement of family-held ranching operations.
