About this map

Gramma Valley and the drainage of Yeso Cr define this high-plains landscape in De Baca County. The territory is marked by the infrastructure of cattle ranching, where remote water sources like Johnson Well and Breaks Tank are essential to the seasonal movement of livestock. A network of county roads, including the descriptively named Washout Rd, Co Road 1-45, and Co Road 1-48, provides access across the township lines of the Public Land Survey System. Windmills are prominent landmarks in this arid environment, with the C C Camp Windmill, Canyon Windmill, and East Pasture Windmill serving as vital hubs. The terrain transitions from the open flats of Turner Draw to more complex breaks near the creek, illustrating the functional layout of a modern New Mexico ranching operation.
