The Netflix series Ransom Canyon is set in Texas but was actually filmed in New Mexico. Key filming locations include the Albuquerque and Santa Fe areas, as well as the historic mining town of Las Vegas, New Mexico, which doubled as the fictional town of Ransom Canyon due to its authentic turn-of-the-century architecture and Western charm
. Several real-life ranches in New Mexico stood in for the ranches featured in the show:
- Bar W Ranch (Davis Collins's ranch) was portrayed by Blame Her Ranch near Santa Fe, a 2,000-acre property with stunning views and western-themed buildings
- Double K Ranch (Staten Kirkland's ranch) was filmed at Dead Horse Ranch, located between Las Vegas and Santa Fe, encompassing over 6,100 acres with multiple residences and equestrian facilities
- Fuller Ranch (Cap Fuller's ranch) scenes were shot at Buena Vista Ranch in northeastern New Mexico, spanning several counties and about 90 miles from Santa Fe
- Quinn's home was the Pond House at Bonanza Creek Ranch, a historic filming location used in many movies since the 1950s
Thus, while the story is inspired by Texas settings, the actual filming took advantage of New Mexico's landscapes and historic towns to bring the series to life
