2017 Map of York Ranch

About this map

York Ranch serves as the primary named settlement in this high-altitude landscape of western New Mexico, where the rangelands of Cibola County meet protected wilderness. The northeastern corner of the map is dominated by the volcanic and basaltic terrain of El Malpais National Monument, a stark contrast to the drainages and pastoral lands to the south. Cutting across the center of the sheet from northwest to southeast, the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail marks the geographic spine of the continent. This 2017 survey reveals the intersection of remote ranching life and modern recreation, showing the local road network including Co RD 42 and the southern access via Pie Town Rd. The topography is defined by significant features like Goat Tank Canyon, which cuts through the high desert plateaus.
