About this map

The Pecos River carves through the heart of this De Baca County landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a network of canyons and draws. Notable water sources like Shaw Spring and Blanco Spring Number 2 indicate the vital importance of groundwater in this arid region of New Mexico. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, anchored by Baldy Mountain and deeply cut features such as Crane Canyon and Blanco Canyon.

Remote transit corridors like Tumbleweed Rd and Shau Spring Rd provide the only significant access through these sprawling ranch lands. The convergence of Conejo Creek with the river valley highlights a complex drainage system where Alamo Draw and Eighteenmile Draw meet the larger waterway. This 2023 survey illustrates the enduring nature of the high plains topography, where traditional land divisions of the Public Land Survey System remain the primary framework for navigation and ownership.
