About this map

Mescalero Ridge dominates the western topography of this section of Lea County, creating a distinct environmental boundary across the landscape. The area is characterized by low-density ranching activity, evidenced by established landmarks such as Zimmerman Ranch and Medlin Ranch. These operations are connected by a grid of rural thoroughfares, including County Rd-153 and Meldin Ranch Rd, which navigate the arid terrain. The mapping reflects the enduring ranching economy of Southeast New Mexico in the early 21st century, where large landholdings are identified by family names. Smaller local routes like Ursula provide further evidence of the local infrastructure serving these isolated homesteads and grazing lands.
