The D H Lawrence Ranch formerly called the Kiowa Ranch by the Lawrences, is located at San Cristobal, New Mexico, approximately 20 miles north of Taos and within the county of Taos. Situated on Lobo Mountain, it has an elevation of 8500 feet. It is currently owned and maintained by the University of New Mexico (UNM), having been deeded to the university in 1955 by Frieda Lawrence Ravagli. A five mile gravel road off State Highway 3 provides access to the 160-acre ranch. The proposed Lawrence Ranch District comprises approximately 10 percent of the whole (16 acres) and includes the caretaker's cabin/office (non-contributing), a cluster of six historical buildings (Lawrence Memorial, Lawrence Cabin, Brett's Cabin, two barns and a cow shed), a corral/stable structure, four sites (Lawrence Tree, alfalfa field, ruins of a horno oven, and a spring), and two objects (Frieda's headstone and Lawrence's porch chair) - all contributing. These structures are all in fair condition with few modifications to the original cabins or to the district as a whole. Surrounding this core are an additional 144 acres of relatively undeveloped forest land providing spectacular views of the desert and mountains - the Sangre de Cristo range on the east, the Jemez Mountains on the south, and the Colorado Rockies on the west. The property is bounded by the Carson National Forest and privately owned land in the San Cristobal foothills. - Tina Ferris and Dr Virginia Hyde for the NRHP nomination
