Its walkways are lined with boulders stacked on one another as fences to navigate through its maze-like mapping. These narrow walkways are what splits up Rancho Nuevo into three neighborhoods: three of them are all simply known as Rancho Nuevo, while the last, bordering the mountainscape, is called La Remo.

Its original name was Santa Elena de la Cruz, but during the early 1900s, during the Mexican Revolution, it was burnt to the ground. When its citizens started to rebuild their town, nearby neighbors began to call it Rancho Nuevo (The New Ranch). Although the town's name changed, its population, which is in the hundreds, still celebrates the saint's day of Santa Elena (Saint Helena) every May 3rd with its neighboring town El Cuervo.
