Catron County, New Mexico

Catron County is in west-central New Mexico, and it’s huge. We’re talking the biggest county in the state. But here’s the kicker. It also has one of the smallest populations for counties in New Mexico.
Yep, wide-open spaces are the norm here. The Gila National Forest covers a big chunk of the southern region. It’s paradise for folks who love the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, and camping are way of life.
The night sky here? Incredible. You can see more stars than you ever thought possible. Catron County has a rich cowboy heritage. It’s like stepping back in time to the Old West. The people here are tough and independent. They have to be.
