2020 Map of York Ranch

About this map

York Ranch anchors the southeastern corner of this high-altitude landscape in New Mexico's Cibola County. The map is defined by the expansive El Malpais National Monument, which occupies the northeastern reaches, protecting a terrain shaped by ancient volcanic activity. Cutting across the center of the sheet from northwest to southeast, the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail traces a path through the high desert, crossing Co Rd 42 and the local highway. This modern survey reflects the enduring cattle ranching heritage of the region, where family-named landmarks like Goat Tank Canyon signify the essential relationship between the land and its limited water resources. The convergence of Pie Town Rd and the National Scenic Trail illustrates how historic ranching routes have evolved into modern corridors for both commerce and recreation.
