About this map

Engleville Cem stands as a quiet focal point in this portion of De Baca County, marking a landscape defined more by family-run ranching operations than by formal townships. The distribution of Steele Ranch, Key Ranch, and Cook Ranch suggests a region of expansive holdings, where life revolved around the management of livestock and the critical infrastructure of water procurement.

Surface drainage is traced through Gillespie Draw and Indian Draw, but it is the density of named water sources that truly characterizes this area. Over a dozen specialized windmills, including the Lee Haney Windmill, SoRelle Windmill, and Windy Ridge Windmill, are positioned across the territory. These features reveal a sophisticated 20th-century water management system essential for survival in the arid high plains of New Mexico, connected by a network of local corridors like Dunlap Rd.
