About this map

Stevens Ranch and Trigg Ranch anchor this high-plains landscape in De Baca County, illustrating the persistence of livestock operations in the eastern New Mexico grasslands. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Little Conejo Creek and the broader Conejo Basin, which carve subtle relief across the plains. These watercourses are vital lifelines in an arid environment, supported by a network of named water sources such as Conejo Spring, Mum Spring, and Shaw Spring.

Evidence of the ranching infrastructure is pervasive, with scattered water-pumping stations including the North Windmills, Reed Windmill, and Brannon Windmill. These landmarks serve as essential navigation points across the open range. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the land drops into Blanco Canyon and Gillespie Draw, showcasing the transition from flat basin floors to the erosional draws that characterize the Pecos River watershed region.
