Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Cerro Pelon Ranch as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Named here by Cerro Pelon Ranch’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Cerro Pelon Ranch, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Thor 2011

“Although most film productions at the ranch have been traditional westerns, 2011 saw the filming of a comic book movie, the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Thor.” Wikipedia
Wild Wild West 1999

“Originally known as the Cook Ranch, in 1999 the property came to be referred to as Cerro Pelon, literally meaning "Bald Hill", "after a fire started by carelessly used pyrotechnics during the filming of Wild Wild West", which "raged out of control in the New Mexico wind".” Wikipedia
Silverado 1985

“Although the ranch had appeared in a few movie scenes as early as 1970, it "became a very important movie location in 1984 when a western town was built as the primary setting for Lawrence Kasdan's Silverado".” Wikipedia
