2013 Map of Ninetysix Ranch

About this map

Ninetysix Ranch stands as the primary namesake landmark in this corner of Grant County, where the high desert terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes and essential water management. The Langford Mountains dominate the northern landscape, shedding runoff into a complex system of drainage features including Langford Draw and New Well Canyon. To support cattle operations and survival in this arid environment, a series of catchment features are distributed across the territory, such as Glaze Tank, Dons Tank, and Rincon Tank. These tanks and draws reveal the traditional ranching infrastructure required to sustain life in the Chihuahuan Desert. The eastern edge is traced by Ninetysix Creek, while the presence of Separ Rd and Gage Rd provides the modern corridor through this historically isolated section of New Mexico.
