2023 Map of Taiban

About this map

Taiban serves as the central point of interest in this De Baca County landscape, situated along a transportation corridor defined by Munger Ave and Co Rd 3-10. The area is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, with the northern reaches dominated by the high plateau of Taiban Mesa and the prominent escarpment known as The Cap Rock. Local history is anchored by the Taiban Cem, while the arid geography is marked by essential water sources like Taiban Spring and Dripping Spring. The drainage patterns of Taiban Creek wind through the southern sections, eventually giving way to the rising elevation of Sand Hill. This 2023 survey illustrates the sparse, rural nature of the region where cattle ranching and land management are tied to the available hydrology of Red Lake and the shelter provided by Long Canyon and Taiban Peak.
