2013 Map of Twin Mesa NW

About this map

The high plains of eastern New Mexico are defined by a network of ranching properties and seasonal watercourses in this 2013 survey. Family-held land is prominent across the landscape, including the Weaver Ranch, Carter Ranch, and Bailey Ranch. The geography is carved by the Arroyo de Anil, which snakes through the western sections of the quadrangle, while the north-south depression of Jackson Draw provides a central drainage corridor. Settlement is sparse and focused on rural residency, with the Locust Grove Cem standing as a significant genealogical marker near the intersection of White Mesa Rd and Gerhardt Rd. To the north, the terrain is accessed via Caprock Rd, illustrating the enduring ranching economy of De Baca County at the turn of the 21st century.
