2010 Map of York Ranch SE

About this map

Elsies Tank and the seasonal waters of Veteado Draw characterize this section of the New Mexico high desert near the Continental Divide. The landscape is defined by its wide drainage basins and the etched path of Goat Tank Canyon in the northeast corner. This 2010 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching region where the movement of people and livestock relies on a network of unpaved routes, most notably the Pie Town Rd. This road provides a critical north-south connection through the territory, linking isolated ranch lands to larger regional arteries. The grid-like appearance of the county road system, including County Rd-A019 and County Rd-A083, suggests a landscape organized by section lines and vast grazing allotments, where water features like tanks are the primary landmarks for navigation and land use.
