About this map

Taiban sits as a central junction where Us-60 84 meets the routes leading north and south through De Baca County. This high plains landscape is defined by its water management and distinct geologic markers, including the prominent Taiban Mesa and Cap Rock that rise above the surrounding terrain. Local history and genealogy are centered around the Taiban Cem and the small Po serving the community, while the presence of Doyle Ranch reflects the enduring agricultural heritage of the region.

The arid character of the area is illustrated by named water sources like Taiban Spring, Dripping Spring, and Red Lake. Infrastructure is vital here, with landmarks such as the North Bonner Well and Frank Windmill indicating the historical reliance on groundwater for livestock and settlement. To the east, Taiban Peak stands as a landmark near the intersection of several county roads, providing a vertical reference point in this expansive New Mexico territory.
