2013 Map of Dunlap Sill

About this map

Martin Ranch and the Rock House anchor this pocket of the New Mexico ranching landscape, where the Chaves and De Baca county lines meet. The terrain is defined by its water management, featuring a dense network of catchment sites such as Roosevelt Tanks, Lake Tank, and the Steel Windmills. These features illustrate the essential infrastructure required for cattle ranching in the high plains environment. The topography is marked by significant drainage systems including East Fork Fivemile Draw and Wylie Draw, which cut through the landscape near the prominent Poquita Mesa and the landmark Dunlap Sill. Local transit is facilitated by historic routes like Fort Summer Rd and N Main St, providing a look at the regional connectivity and livestock operations of the early 21st century.
