About this map

The Pecos River carves a significant course through this portion of De Baca County, creating a riparian corridor that contrasts with the surrounding arid landscape. Evidence of the region's scarce but vital water sources is found in features like Shaw Spring and the curiously named Blanco Spring Number 2, which likely served as critical hubs for local ranching operations. The topography is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Alamo Draw, Eighteenmile Draw, and Yeso Cr, which feed into the primary river valley.

Local navigation across these high plains relies on a sparse road network, featuring Tumbleweed Rd and Shaw Spring Rd. To the east, the elevation rises toward the prominent landmark of Baldy Mtn, while Crane Canyon marks the southern reach of the river's influence. This map provides a detailed view of the Land Grid System, clearly delineating townships such as t1s r25e and t2s r25e, essential for tracing historical property lines and grazing rights in this section of New Mexico.
