The Luis Maria Baca No 4 land grant dominates this portion of the San Luis Valley, a landscape defined by an intricate network of water management features designed for high-altitude agriculture. The map details the convergence of Saguache Cr, San Luis Creek, and Deadman Creek, where the natural flow is diverted into man-made systems like the Farmers Union Canal and the Gibson North Central Lateral Ditch. This hydraulic infrastructure supported isolated ranching outposts such as White Ranch and the eponymous Deadman Camp.
