2023 Map of Waggoner Ranch

About this map

Bell Ranch Waggoner Airport serves as a modern waypoint in this expansive cattle country of San Miguel County, where the topography is defined by a complex network of drainages and high ground. The landscape is deeply incised by Carpenter Canyon and Hole-in-the-Wall Canyon to the north, while the southern reaches are dominated by the prominent Huerfano Mesa. Water flows, primarily seasonal, dictate the movement through this terrain, with La Cinta Creek and Mule Creek carving paths through the alluvial flats. The presence of Mule Creek Dr provides the primary overland access through a region characterized by dramatic elevation shifts, ranging from the steep walls of Devils Canyon to the broader expanse of Seventyfour Canyon. This survey captures the intersection of ranching infrastructure and the natural erosive features of the New Mexico high plains.
