Campbell Ranch Master Plan page has been updated:

[Edited on 09/19/2015  For those seeking more information on the development Santa Fe Ranch and Farms, which is part of a larger tract known as Campbell Ranch, please see this post: Campbell Ranch Update which was added on September 17, 2015. Most of the information about Campbell Ranch on the Portal concerns those tracts of land in Santa Fe, Bernalillo, and Sandoval Counties which were annexed by Edgewood on December 3, 2001. I believe Santa Fe Ranch and Farms is located in Santa Fe County just to the north of Edgewood's boundary.]

Original Post:

I've added information and links to the Campbell Ranch Master Plan page to reflect material contained in the November 13, 2014 ruling from the Office of the State Engineer (OSE).  The link provided above is to a scanned document; please contact the OSE if you require an official copy of the ruling.
