2020 Map of Yeso Mesa SE

About this map

Gramma Valley dominates the eastern half of this terrain in De Baca County, characterized by the drainage patterns of Yeso Cr as it flows eastward across the landscape. The environment is defined by extensive ranching infrastructure, where water sources like Breaks Tank provide essential relief in an arid geography. The southern reaches are marked by the seasonal drainage of Turner Draw, while the entire area is stitched together by a functional network of local routes including S Border Rd, Red Horse Rd, and Washout Rd. These features reflect a land use focused on livestock and resource management, with topographic variations clearly delineating the mesas and lowlands typical of this New Mexico region. The township and range boundaries further organize the vast open space, providing a framework for understanding the cadastral history of the high plains.
