2023 Map of Conejo Creek West

About this map

Conejo Basin and Blanco Canyon define this high-desert stretch of De Baca County, where seasonal water sources and natural depressions have long dictated the movement of livestock and travelers. The landscape is marked by a network of drainage features like Whites Draw and Gillespie Draw, leading toward the primary watercourse of Conejo Creek and its tributary, Little Conejo Creek. Remote springs such as Mum Spring, Shaw Spring, and Conejo Spring provide rare focal points for activity in an area largely characterized by open range and section lines. Human presence is etched into the terrain through rural corridors like Conejo Rd and Cottontail Rd, alongside smaller tracks such as Dbl V, which navigate the elevation changes between the canyon floor and the surrounding plateaus.
