The Vermejo Park Ranch is a ranch owned by Ted Turner in northeastern New Mexico and southern Colorado. The ranch is about 3/4 the size of the State of Rhode Island. The ranch, which stretches from the Great Plains to the summit of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, is used primarily for conservation, hunting, fishing, and other recreation, but also produces significant quantities of coalbed methane, a type of natural gas.
==Location and description==

The Vermejo Park Ranch, located just west of the city of Raton, is the biggest component of Turner's ranch empire of that made him the second biggest private landowner in the United States as of 2012.〔"20i3 Land Report" {http://www.landreport.com/americas-100-largest-landowners/, |accessdate=23 Dec 2013〕 It lies mostly in western Colfax County, New Mexico, but smaller portions extend into northeastern Taos County, New Mexico as well as southwestern Las Animas County and southeastern Costilla County in Colorado.
Elevations of Vermejo Park ranch range from 5,850 feet on the Canadian River near Maxwell, New Mexico to Big Costilla Peak which rises to on the western boundary of the ranch and the border between New Mexico and Colorado. Most of the ranch consists of the Park Plateau, part of the Raton Basin, a much dissected tableland with elevations from to about The westernmost extension of the ranch is in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with elevations from to above timeberline. An eight-mile long, north-south ridge with four summits above including Big Costilla Peak form the western boundary of the ranch .〔Google Earth; http://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=16478, accessed 4 Sep 2013 Different elevations are cited by different sources for Big Costilla Peak.〕
Most of the ranch is drained by the Canadian River and its tributary, Vermejo Creek. The Canadian is part of the Mississippi River drainage basin. A small portion in the western part of the ranch, the East Fork of Costilla Creek, drains into the Rio Grande. Costilla Reservoir is on the East Fork of Costilla Creek. About 20 lakes, natural and artificial, are scattered around the higher elevations.〔Google Earth; Delorme Topo 6.0〕
