2023 Map of Twin Mesa

About this map

Gerhardt Valley and the prominent Twin Mesa define the high plains landscape of De Baca County in this modern survey. The terrain is deeply inscribed by a network of drainage systems, most notably Arroyo de Anil in the northwest and Truchas Creek which winds through the central valley. These natural watercourses are supplemented by landmarks like Red Tank, reflecting the area's ongoing reliance on water management for ranching and land use. The map reveals a systematic grid of rural transit, including Jackson Draw Rd and Truchas Creek Rd, which provide access to the expansive rangelands. The boundary between De Baca and Quay counties is visible in the northeastern corner, marking a quiet intersection of administrative lines in the eastern New Mexico grasslands.
