The Old Dry Lake and a complex network of livestock watering tanks define this arid stretch of De Baca County. This 2023 survey illustrates the essential infrastructure of modern ranching, where numerous named catchments like North Ragland Tank, Big Ragland Tank, and Horse Pasture Tank are strategically placed across the landscape to support cattle. The drainage patterns of Ragland Draw and Double Windmills Draw carve through the high plains, guiding seasonal runoff toward these vital water points.
