About this map

Wright Ranch sits at a geographic transition where the plains meet a series of carved drainages and escarpments in De Baca County. This 2017 survey reveals an arid landscape defined by its reliance on intermittent water sources and extensive ranching infrastructure. Numerous catchment basins, such as Hub Corn Tank, Dipping Vat Lake, and Panama Martin Tank, are distributed across the terrain to support livestock in an area with few permanent streams.

Surface drainage is channeled through prominent seasonal washes including Ragland Draw, Indian Draw, and Burro Draw. Road networks remain sparse, with Yeso Creek Rd and Co Rd 1-51 providing the primary transit routes through this section of the High Plains. Smaller landmarks like Mail Carrier Lake and the North Home Draw offer specific points of reference for local historians and land managers tracking the evolution of modern ranch boundaries and water management systems.
