2017 Map of Sauble Circle Dot Ranch

About this map

Sauble Circle Dot Ranch serves as a primary geographic anchor in this section of Colfax County, where the high plains are carved by subtle drainage networks. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Rio del Plano in the northwest and Chico Cr, which snakes through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring ranching character of northeastern New Mexico, where large landholdings are connected by a sparse network of county roads. The road system, including Co Rd C-34 and the eponymous Circle Dot Ranch Rd, follows the natural contours of the terrain rather than a strict grid, illustrating how historical land use and water access continue to dictate the placement of local infrastructure in this part of the state.
