About this map

Conejo Mesa dominates the southern portion of this mid-1960s landscape, rising above the winding course of Yeso Creek. The map documents a sparse ranching environment where water sources and property boundaries are the primary markers of human activity. Significant landmarks such as the Horney Ranch and Field Ranch are mapped alongside specialized infrastructure like the Yeso Camp Windmill and Black Lake Windmill.

Evidence of earlier habitation or abandoned structures is found near the eastern edge, noted simply as Ruins near a small Spring. The inclusion of a small Cem and the settlement at Miller provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in De Baca County. This survey illustrates the high-desert terrain before modern developments, defined by its traditional base lines and drainage features like Gillespie Draw and Little Conejo Cr.
