2020 Map of Bard

About this map

Bard sits at the southwestern edge of this high plains landscape, situated near the intersection of the Q Ranch To Market Rd and several arterial ranch roads. This corner of eastern Quay County is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and gravel routes, including Quay Road 63 and Quay Road 60, which carve through the shortgrass prairie. The topography is marked by the drainage basins of Frost Cr and Trujillo Cr, which create subtle variations in the otherwise level terrain. To the southeast, the Endee Cem stands as a significant point of interest for genealogists and local historians, serving as a quiet witness to the ranching families who settled this region of the Llano Estacado. The map's layout of townships and ranges reflects the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in organizing this rural New Mexico territory.
