About this map

Arroyo Mora carves through the arid landscape of De Baca County, defining the drainage patterns that support the sparse ranching infrastructure of this region. In an area where water is the primary currency for survival, the presence of Mora Springs and numerous catchment basins like Horse Pasture Tank and Grasshopper Tank indicate the vital relationship between the terrain and livestock operations. The map reveals a network of county roads connecting isolated outposts such as Key Ranch and Martin Ranch to the small community center of Dunlap.

Windmills are prominent landmarks across the plains, serving as essential water-drawing points for the surrounding rangeland. Locations like King Windmill, Sheppard Windmill, and Sulphur Windmill dot the landscape, often serving as the only identifiable features for miles. The topography shifts from the flat stretches near Wylie Draw to the more pronounced relief of Rock Canyon, showing the varied character of this high desert territory.
