2010 Map of Alamo Ranch

About this map

Alamo Ranch sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, where the survival of ranching operations depends heavily on a distributed network of groundwater access. The map reveals a land defined by its hydrology, with Yeso Creek winding through the southern half and a series of named water features dotting the terrain. These include isolated markers like Pennington Well and Buck Tank, alongside numerous family-named or location-specific windmills such as Miles Windmill, Star Windmill, and Rabbit Windmill. The road network, including County Rd-1-73 and County Rd-1-71, connects these remote outposts. This survey provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure of De Baca County in the early twenty-first century, documenting the critical role of windmills and tanks in maintaining the grazing lands of eastern New Mexico.
