2017 Map of Victorio Ranch

About this map

Sierra Rica and the Apache Hills dominate this high-desert landscape in the southwestern corner of New Mexico. The terrain is marked by essential water sources for cattle and wildlife, including Wamels Pond and a series of numbered catchments like Tank Number 10 S. Local ranching history is anchored by the Victorio Ranch and the nearby Victorio Cem, reflecting a long-standing presence in this remote border region. In the south, the map identifies the international boundary with Estados Unidos Mexicanos, where the International Tank sits near the dividing line. The geography is further defined by natural drainage patterns such as Wamels Draw and Rock Hole Canyon. This 2017 survey details a landscape where administrative lines for Grant, Hidalgo, and Luna counties converge in a sparsely populated ranching environment.
