2017 Map of Dunlap

About this map

The settlement of Dunlap sits at the intersection of Diamond Rd and Gem Rd in this De Baca County landscape. This high plains environment is defined by its water management, visible through a network of named stock tanks such as Grasshopper Tank, Shirley Tank, and Horse Pasture Tank. These man-made features are essential infrastructure for ranching in the arid New Mexico climate. Natural drainages like Arroyo Mora, which is fed by Mora Springs, cut through the terrain alongside prominent features like Rock Canyon and Lovelady Draw. The map reveals the grid-like Public Land Survey System divisions, including t2s r22e and t3s r23e, which guided the parceling of this territory. In the southeastern corner, Wylie Draw provides another notable topographic landmark in a region where local roads like Cowchip Rd and Bootheel Rd connect isolated outposts.
