2010 Map of Pastura SE

About this map

Arabella and the surrounding high plains of Guadalupe County are defined by a sparse network of ranching and mining infrastructure in this 2010 survey. The landscape is dotted with named water sources essential for livestock in this arid environment, including the Hobo John Windmill, Lib Windmill, and Little Hamilton Windmill. These features, along with small settlements like Gallegos, Chaves, and Guadalupe, illustrate a land-use pattern centered on scattered outposts and cattle operations. Industrial activity is marked by the Stauber Mine and Guadalupe Mine in the northwestern portion of the map, connected to the broader region by a web of local routes such as County Rd-3. The presence of the Histon Ranch in the south underscores the enduring cattle-ranching heritage that continues to shape this part of New Mexico.
