2017 Map of Flying M Ranch

About this map

Flying M Ranch stands as the central landmark in this high plains region of southeastern New Mexico, where the borders of Lea, Chaves, and Roosevelt Counties converge. The landscape is defined by a sparse but essential network of rural infrastructure, including ranch roads such as Ledoux Rd, Tobac Rd, and Co Rd 170 that navigate the vast township and range sections. Water management is a primary feature of this arid terrain, as evidenced by East Tank, providing a critical resource for the livestock operations that dominate the area. The map illustrates the structured division of land across multiple townships, including t8s r33e and t9s r33e, showing a transition from open range to the geometric order of county roads and section lines typical of the Llano Estacado's ranching heritage.
