1966 Map of West Camp

About this map

The Weston Ranch and scattered outposts like North Camp and West Camp define the ranching character of this De Baca County landscape in the mid-1960s. The topography is dominated by the broad elevation of Conejo Mesa to the south, which gives way to a network of drainage systems including Guana Draw and Yeso Creek. The presence of features like the Lower End Windmill and various water tanks across the high plains underscores the critical importance of water management for livestock in this arid environment.
