About this map

Lomas Gatos and the surrounding ranchlands of De Baca County are defined by a network of cattle operations and water management features. The high desert landscape is punctuated by the Triangle Ranch and Triangle Cattle Company to the northwest, and the Hall Ranch near the eastern boundary. These operations rely on a series of scattered water sources including Dry Tank, Hopper Tank, and the Twin Tanks.

Transport through this arid terrain follows established routes like Cowbell Rd and Bucket Rd, which cross the central plains. Historical and genealogical interest is anchored by the Blanco Cem located in the southeast corner near Cañon Blanco. This area, marked by distinctive landforms like White Mesa and Sand Hill, illustrates the persistent role of large-scale ranching and the critical importance of water infrastructure in eastern New Mexico.
