About this map

Conejo Basin dominates this portion of De Baca County, where the high plains terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and vital desert springs. The drainage system is anchored by Conejo Creek and its tributary, Little Conejo Creek, which wind through a landscape marked by significant depressions like Blanco Canyon. For land managers and historians, the locations of Conejo Spring, Mum Spring, and Shaw Spring represent the critical water sources that historically dictated movement and land use in this arid region.

A network of local routes including Conejo Rd and Cottontail Rd provides access across the townships. The map clearly delineates the survey boundaries of T1S R23E and T2S R24E, providing a precise grid for tracing land ownership and ranching activity. To the south, the topography transitions into the alluvial features of Whites Draw and Gillespie Draw, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Llano Estacado's western fringes.
