About this map

Yeso Cr winds through this arid section of De Baca County, carving a drainage pattern across a landscape defined by ranch roads and wide basins. The mapping reflects a region where water management is critical for land use, evidenced by features like Breaks Tank. To the southeast, the terrain opens into Gramma Valley, while Turner Draw marks the southern reaches of the quadrangle. A network of rural tracks, including Red Horse Rd, Tincup Rd, and Washout Rd, provides access across the township and range boundaries of the Public Land Survey System. This modern survey captures the enduring spatial organization of New Mexico’s high plains, where named topographical features often serve as the primary landmarks for navigation and land management.
