About this map

Porcupine Ridge Airport sits on a high plateau in northern Catron County, serving as a remote aviation landmark in this sparsely populated region. The landscape is defined by drainage patterns like Veteado Draw and Goat Tank Canyon, which cut through the high-desert terrain. Local history is anchored at the Greer Cem, located along the eastern edge of the survey area near the Cibola and Catron County line. The modern road network, including the evocative Pony Express Trl and Trail Boss Rd, traces the routes of earlier livestock movements and historical trails. Resource management in this arid environment is evident by the presence of Elsies Tank, a vital water catchment for ranching operations across the Porcupine Ridge vicinity.
