About this map

Horney Ranch sits at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, where the flat rangeland is cut by deep drainage systems and topographical rises. The central terrain is dominated by Conejo Mesa, a prominent elevation that dictates the local hydrology. Water moves across the arid surface via seasonal channels like Yeso Cr and Little Conejo Cr, while Gillespie Draw drains the southeastern portion of the quadrangle.

A network of rural routes, including Angus Rd and Dunlap Rd, provides access across the townships. The map illustrates the specialized land-use patterns of De Baca County, where named roads like Mustang Rd and Mum Spring Rd trace through a grid-based surveying system. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of eastern New Mexico's ranching country, showing how isolated outposts and named draws define the geography far from major urban centers.
