2010 Map of Separ

About this map

Separ serves as the focal point of this southwestern New Mexico landscape, situated at a junction where local ranching routes meet the arterial path of the Frontage Rd and the interstate. The map illustrates a high-desert environment defined by intermittent water sources and established family holdings, including Separ Ranch, Cox Ranch, and Moore Ranch. These named ranching sites, coupled with features like Glaze Windmill, highlight the necessity of water management in a region where Ninetysix Creek and Burro Cienaga provide the primary drainage. The network of local thoroughfares such as Warren Ranch Rd and Moore Ranch Rd reveals the persistent connectivity between these remote outposts. Rising above the flatlands, Pigeon Hill provides a distinct topographic landmark amidst the desert floor, anchoring the southwestern portion of the survey.
