About this map

Dunlap serves as the focal point of this arid De Baca County landscape, situated along a primary transportation route that cuts through the high desert terrain. The geography is defined by its water management systems, essential for ranching and survival in this environment. Numerous catchment basins, such as Hendrick Tank, Horse Pasture Tank, and Scottie Tank, are distributed across the land, indicating a legacy of livestock grazing and land use. Natural drainage patterns are dominated by Arroyo Mora, which winds through the central portion of the area near Mora Springs.

Surface features like Rock Canyon and the southern Wylie Draw reveal the topographical contours of the region. The map also delineates established ranching boundaries through township and range lines, including t2s r23e and t3s r22e. Rural connectivity is maintained via a network of named local roads such as Gem RD, Bootheel RD, and Rock Lake RD, which provide access to remote tanks and landmarks across the desert floor.
