1966 Map of Yeso

About this map

Yeso serves as a primary hub for this De Baca County landscape, oriented around the high-traffic corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The settlement pattern here reflects the mid-century ranching and rail economy of east-central New Mexico, with the tracks cutting a distinct path across the terrain. Local history is anchored by the Yeso Cem and a second Cem near the village center, while isolated outposts like Hisel Ranch, Long Ranch, and Evanola illustrate the vast spacing between homesteads and rail sidings. A prominent Radio Tower stands near the townsite, marking a modern infrastructure addition to this traditionally agricultural region. The landscape is punctuated by numerous wells, which provided the vital water supply required to sustain both the residents and the livestock in this semi-arid environment during the 1960s.
