About this map

White Mesa dominates the high plains of East-Central New Mexico, providing a clear window into the livestock and ranching infrastructure of the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of family-named water sources and landmarks, such as Noblitt Windmill, Lewis Windmill, and DeReno Windmill, which illustrate the vital importance of groundwater in this arid region. The presence of Blanco Cem suggests the historical footprint of earlier settlers in this corner of De Baca County. Geologic features including Sand Dunes near the northern boundary and the transition to The Mesa in the south provide a detailed portrait of the local topography. This survey also records the Base Line and section boundaries that dictated land ownership and development as the region transitioned through the mid-20th century.
