The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal line across this high plains landscape in De Baca County, anchoring the small settlements of Ricardo and Evanola. This 1966 topography, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a rural economy defined by cattle ranching and water management. Scattered windmills such as Bertie Windmill, Old Place Windmill, and West Windmill are vital landmarks across the terrain, indicating the locations of groundwater sources for livestock.
