1968 Map of Lomas Gatos

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

White Mesa dominates the eastern horizon of this De Baca County landscape, rising above a vast network of water infrastructure essential for high-desert ranching. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a system of named wells and tanks that supported cattle operations across the rugged terrain of Lomas Gatos and the winding course of Cañon Blanco. Specific family-named landmarks like Lena Lewis Well, Hutten Well, and Hanibus Well provide vital clues for genealogists and local historians tracing the distribution of homesteads and water rights in this arid region. The presence of the Triangle Ranch and Hall Ranch underscores the area's agricultural heritage, while scattered Drill Holes and an Oil Well hint at early resource exploration. From the prominent Sand Hill to the southern Base Line, the topography illustrates the challenging environment where these early ranching families established their livelihoods.
