About this map

Lomas Gatos defines the heart of this De Baca County landscape, where the high desert terrain of eastern New Mexico is marked by a network of drainage basins and essential water catchment sites. The topography is dominated by large-scale features like the Cañon Blanco and White Mesa, providing a clear record of the area's geological character. This 2017 survey details a landscape where water management is central to land use, evidenced by named features such as North Tank, Twin Tanks, and Red Fry Tank.

A sparse network of roads, including Bucket Rd and Canon Blanco Rd, connects the distant corners of this quadrangle. For those researching local history or genealogy, the presence of Blanco Cem in the eastern section of the map offers a specific point of interest in an otherwise wide-open ranching or grazing environment. The layout of these township and range lines illustrates the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System in the American West.
