2013 Map of Flying M Ranch
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
The Flying M Ranch dominates this high plains landscape at the intersection of Lea, Chaves, and Roosevelt counties. This 2013 survey reveals an economy deeply tied to both traditional ranching and the petroleum industry, with the Tobac Oil Field, Flying M South Oil Field, and Vada Oil Field scattered across the township and range sections. The presence of features like Mill on the Fence and the East Tank underscore the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. Transportation is defined by a sparse grid of county roads, including Co Road 43 and Co Road 170, which connect remote ranching headquarters and oil production sites across the vast, relatively flat terrain of eastern New Mexico.
