2020 Map of Wright Ranch

About this map

Wright Ranch sits at the center of this cattle country landscape, where the topography is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features essential for ranching in De Baca County. The terrain is carved by numerous drainage patterns such as Ragland Draw, Loco Draw, and Burro Draw, which feed into specialized reservoirs. These artificial and natural catchments, including Dipping Vat Lake, Mail Carrier Lake, and Red Lake, illustrate the historic reliance on seasonal water for livestock. The prevalence of named tanks like Panama Martin Tank, Dunlap Camp Tank, and Robertson Fence Tank suggests a landscape divided into specific grazing allotments and managed family holdings. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of unpaved ranch roads such as Yeso Creek Rd and Ramen Rd, which connect these remote outposts to the wider region.
