2010 Map of Twin Mesa NW

About this map

Arroyo de Anil meanders across this high plains landscape of De Baca County, defining the drainage patterns in an area primarily dedicated to large-scale ranching operations. The map documents a sparsely populated region where life and livelihood are organized around established family holdings, including the Weaver Ranch to the north and the Jones Ranch further south. A network of county and secondary roads, such as County Rd-3-19 and B 048, connects these remote outposts across the arid terrain. For those researching local history or genealogy, the presence of the Locust Grove Cemetery near the southern boundary serves as a significant landmark of early settlement in this part of New Mexico. The map illustrates the 21st-century continuity of a ranching economy that has long characterized the geography of the southwest.
