2010 Map of La Espia Peak

About this map

The Pecos River carves a central path through this De Baca County landscape, serving as the primary geographic anchor for a series of deep drainage systems and ranching outposts. Along its banks, the Salt Spring and Van Eaton Ranch mark human and natural points of interest in an otherwise arid expanse defined by complex erosion patterns. This terrain is characterized by a network of named canyons and arroyos that feed toward the river valley, including the prominent Blanco Canyon and Wildcat Canyon to the north, and Ward Canyon and Rock Canyon further south. To the southeast, La Espia Peak stands as a notable high point, overlooking a web of unpaved county routes like County Rd 2-9 that provide access to isolated landmarks such as East Tank and Arroyo Arana.
