2010 Map of Sauble Circle Dot Ranch

About this map

Sauble Circle Dot Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this ranching landscape of Colfax County, defined by its sparse settlement and expansive drainage networks. The terrain is marked by the presence of Rio del Plano and Chico Creek, which carve through the high plains. Between these watercourses, the Jumping Divide creates a prominent topographical boundary. Local history is anchored by several family-named locations such as the Gillespie Ranch and the settlement of Gillespie to the south, along with the Langly Ranch to the east. Transportation through this open country relies on a handful of thoroughfares, including County Road C-34 and Chico Rd, reflecting the enduring rural character and spatial organization of New Mexico’s northeastern cattle country in the early 21st century.
