2013 Map of Williams Ranch

About this map

Williams Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this high-desert region of Luna County, where the desert floor is punctuated by the prominent heights of Black Mtn and Clabber Top Hill. The arid landscape is defined by the course of the Mimbres River, which winds through the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. The presence of the Imee Canal further south indicates the region's historical reliance on water management for ranching and agriculture. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Tunis is situated along a transportation corridor marked by Co Road C009. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use in this part of New Mexico, from the river's path to the isolated ranching outposts and roads.
