2010 Map of Williams Ranch

About this map

Williams Ranch and the small settlement of Willis define the northern expanse of this high-desert landscape in Luna County. The Mimbres River cuts a winding path through the eastern half of the quadrangle, supported by water infrastructure like the Wamel Canal and reliable water sources such as Middle Well and North Windmill. This 2010 survey reveals the agricultural and ranching footprint of the region, where the terrain is marked by prominent elevations like Clabber Top Hill and Black Mountain. In the south, the community of Tunis sits along the interstate corridor, providing a clear contrast between the modern transit artery and the long-established ranching outposts like Lauer. The drainage patterns of Jones Springs Draw further illustrate the hydrology of this arid basin near the southern border.
