About this map

McCord Place and Box Bar Place occupy the central corridor of this high-desert landscape in Catron County, where a network of forest roads and canyons defines the local topography. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a region managed largely by the Cibola National Forest, characterized by its reliance on isolated water sources and ranching outposts. Landmarks such as the Chriswell Windmill and Buds Windmill highlight the essential infrastructure required for survival in the arid terrain north of Alamocita Creek.

Notable elevations like Bell Mountain and the expansive Cow Flat break up the horizon, while numerous drainages including Remuda Canyon and Stiver Canyon demonstrate the complex watershed feeding into the Rio Salado. The presence of named sites like White House Ranch and the remote Grapevine Cabin provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the twentieth-century land use patterns of this New Mexico backcountry.
