About this map

The high desert landscape along the Lincoln Co De Baca Co line is defined by vital water infrastructure and isolated ranching outposts. Recorded in the late 1960s, this area centers on Ramon, with ranching operations like the Simpson Ranch and Merritt Ranch scattered across the terrain. The survival of these holdings is underscored by numerous man-made water catchments, including Schoolhouse Tank, Bethell Tank, and the Automobile Water Tank. The distinctive red geology of the Red Bluffs rises above the plains, while the curious naming of the Automobile area and its nearby Automobile Lake suggests a localized point of interest or early motor-path landmark. To the south, drainage systems like Dipping Vat Draw and Loco Draw carve through the arid surface, marking a landscape where every well, such as Corona Well, was essential for maintaining livestock on the open range.
