2017 Map of Caudill Ranch

About this map

Caudill Ranch serves as the primary landmark in this section of the Llano Estacado, situated just east of the boundary between Chaves and Lea Counties. The landscape is defined by a significant north-south escarpment that separates the lower plains to the west from the elevated plateau of the Caprock to the east. This geographic transition is a dominant feature of the region, influencing the placement of local infrastructure and land use. A network of rural routes, including Tower Rd, Tabitha Rd, and Priscilla Rd, provides access across the high plains, following the grid lines of the Public Land Survey System. These roads connect isolated ranching operations and reflect the late 20th-century development of the region's cattle and agricultural economy.
