About this map

Yeso Mesa dominates the northern landscape of this De Baca County region, where the high ground drops away into the drainage basin of Yeso Creek. The map documents a working ranching landscape in the mid-1970s, defined by a critical network of water improvements essential for livestock in this arid environment. Named water sources such as Johnson Windmill, Canyon Windmill, and Boney Well appear alongside Breaks Tank, illustrating the managed nature of the open range. The presence of C C Camp Windmill and various Drill Holes points to the area's history of survey and exploration. This survey serves as a precise record of land management and terrain elevation before more modern developments, showing the distribution of pastoral infrastructure like the East Pasture Windmill across the expansive mesas and plains.
