2013 Map of Andrews Place

About this map

Diamond and a Half Ranch and Andrews Place anchor this corner of the High Plains in Lea County, illustrating the enduring ranching infrastructure of southeastern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by its water management strategy, where scattered sources like Hardin Tank, Andrews West Tank, and Andrews South Tank are critical markers for navigation and livestock in an arid environment. The vast expanse of Rattlesnake Flat dominates the southwestern portion of the map, while a sparse network of roads, including Battle Axe Rd and Co Road 2, provides the primary access across the desert. This 2013 survey documents a remote ranching territory where the layout of tanks and section lines reflects a century of land use and survival in the Llano Estacado.
