About this map

Lomas Gatos defines this section of the De Baca County high plains, where the land is carved by the deep drainage of Cañon Blanco. The landscape is characterized by its essential water management features, including North Tank, Twin Tanks, and Hopper Tank, which serve as critical hubs in an otherwise arid ranching environment.

A sparse network of county roads, such as Co Rd 2-37 and Co Rd 2-30, connects these remote outposts. Significant geological landmarks like White Mesa and Sand Hill rise above the surrounding terrain, providing orientation points for navigators. Near the eastern edge, the Blanco Cem stands as a quiet marker of the families who settled this rugged corner of New Mexico, while routes like James Spring Rd and Black Spring Rd point toward the essential water sources that have always dictated life in this region.
