About this map

Philmont Scout Ranch occupies the northern reaches of this New Mexico landscape, where the high mesa country meets historic travel corridors. The map documents a transition from the elevated plateaus of Kit Carson Mesa and Rayado Mesa down toward the drainage of Rayado Creek. Central to the geography is the Beaubien and Miranda (Maxwell) grant, a massive tract of land that shaped settlement patterns in this part of Colfax County. Evidence of the region’s ranching and scout heritage is visible through sites like Rayado Camp, Sweetwater Cow Camp, and the tiny settlement of Rayado.
