About this map

Salado Creek cuts through the northern landscape of this high plains region on the border of Guadalupe and De Baca counties. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages and mesas, with the land partitioned by the Public Land Survey System across Townships 3, 4, and 5 North. A network of rural roads provides the primary infrastructure for this ranching country, including named routes such as Lonesome Rd, Bullhide Rd, and Salado Rd. Centrally, Shady Rock Rd traverses the undulating topography, connecting various sections of the remote rangeland. The map illustrates the sparsely populated character of the eastern New Mexico territory, where land use is oriented around water sources like the creek and the vast expanses of the open range.
