Salado Creek cuts through the high plains of East-Central New Mexico, defining a landscape marked by the vital infrastructure of ranching and transit. In the late 1970s, this area along the Guadalupe Co De Baca Co line relied heavily on distributed water sources, evidenced by the named wells and windmills including Spring Windmill, Sand Windmill, and Big Tank Windmill. These features indicate the essential nature of water management for livestock in the arid terrain.
