2010 Map of Horney Ranch

About this map

Horney Ranch and Field Ranch anchor this landscape in De Baca County, illustrating the sparse settlement patterns of central New Mexico. The geography is defined by the broad expanse of Conejo Mesa, where the land falls away into drainage systems like Gillespie Draw and the winding course of Yeso Creek. This 2010 survey emphasizes the vital role of water management in a semi-arid ranching environment, specifically identifying remote infrastructure such as the Yeso Camp Windmill and Black Lake Windmill. A network of local infrastructure, including County Rd-1-29 and County Rd-1-8, provides the primary connective tissue between these isolated homesteads and the seasonal waterways like Little Conejo Creek.
