2020 Map of Ricardo

About this map

Evanola marks the northwestern corner of this De Baca County landscape, a region defined by its wide open spaces and straight-line road network. The mapping reflects a high-plains environment where infrastructure is sparse and focused on long-distance transit. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the location of two significant burial sites: the Morris Cem and the Ricardo Cem in the southeastern quadrant. These features, along with names like Ricardo Rd, suggest the area's agricultural and ranching history. The terrain is largely organized by the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the grid boundaries of t3n r23e and t2n r24e. Primary travel through the area follows local routes such as Co Rd 1-25 and Co Rd 1-20, which navigate a landscape of subtle elevation changes and seasonal wetlands.
