2010 Map of Taylor Ranch

About this map

The high desert landscape of Sandoval County is defined here by several large ranching operations and drainage networks. Isolated settlements such as Taylor Ranch and the Alexander Ranch are connected by secondary routes, including Indian Service Route 37 and W Lovinia Woods. The terrain transitions from the San Isidro Valley toward the prominent Ceja Pelon Mesa, marked by numerous seasonal drainages such as Arroyo Pelon and Arroyo Penistaja. Evidence of water management in this arid environment is visible at the Encino Detention Dam Number 63, while the Apache Indian Res boundary indicates the intersection of tribal lands with surrounding ranch holdings. Industrial history is represented by the Crook Number Two Group, suggesting mining activity near the settlement of Landers.
