About this map

Pie Town sits along the high-elevation terrain of west-central New Mexico, a settlement famously positioned near the Continental Divide. This 1967 survey captures a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and intermittent water sources, with numerous named wells such as Bobs Well and Wade Well scattered across the draws. The area is characterized by significant topographic features like the Top of the World ridge and the drainage systems of McAllister Draw and Tres Lagunas Draw.

Transportation and commerce are anchored by Highway 60, which passes by a Roadside Park and provides the primary artery through this arid region. The presence of the Nalda Ranch Landing Field and various livestock-related labels like Bull Pasture Well indicates the importance of large-scale ranching operations. To the south, the Base Line and San Ignacio Creek mark the transition toward the higher peaks of the surrounding mountains, while features like Santianez Lake provide rare focal points of surface water in the high desert.
