About this map

Arroyo de Anil winds through this high plains landscape of De Baca County, revealing a remote terrain defined by its watercourses and rural thoroughfares. The drainage of Jackson Draw cuts through the central portion of the map, illustrating the natural geography of the New Mexico eastern plains. Human presence is centered on the Locust Grove Cem, a significant marker for local genealogists and historians tracing early families in the region. The transport network consists of established routes like Locust Grove Rd and Alamo Red Rd, which navigate the rectangular sections of the Public Land Survey System. These roads, along with names like Bailey Camp Rd and Dancing Rd, suggest the long-standing ranching and agricultural heritage of the area, where water features and section lines dictated the patterns of movement and settlement.
