About this map

Waggoner Ranch sits within a landscape defined by dramatic relief and isolated ranching infrastructure in San Miguel County. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a high-desert environment where the flat expanse of Huerfano Mesa rises above a network of deep drainages. Transportation is limited to rugged tracks like Mule Creek Dr, which provides access to the remote Bell Ranch Waggoner Airport.

The area is carved by numerous canyons, including Hole-in-the-Wall Canyon and Carpenter Canyon to the north, which channel seasonal runoff into La Cinta Cr. Further east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as Devils Canyon and Seventyfour Canyon feed into the Mule Cr system. The proximity of named ranching sites and isolated airfields underscores the sprawling, low-density land use characteristic of this portion of New Mexico.
