2010 Map of Yeso Mesa SE

About this map

Yeso Creek winds through this arid section of De Baca County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape dedicated to cattle ranching. The 2010 survey highlights a network of essential water infrastructure, including Johnson Well and Canyon Windmill, which are critical for livestock in this high-desert environment. This mapping illustrates how land use is organized around these scattered water sources and a sparse grid of rural routes such as County Rd-1-45 and the descriptively named Washout Rd. Further south, C C Camp Windmill and East Pasture Windmill mark distinct grazing divisions, providing a clear view of the modern ranching economy and the enduring reliance on groundwater in eastern New Mexico.
