2013 Map of Hammond Ranch

About this map

Roach Cem sits on the western edge of this High Plains landscape, a notable landmark for local genealogists studying the borderlands of the Llano Estacado. The area is defined by a grid of rural routes including Quay Road AB and Co Road 28, which service several established agricultural properties such as Hammond Ranch and Williams Ranch. The topography is relatively level except where it is interrupted by the natural drainage of Frio Draw in the east, which creates subtle variations in the terrain. The map captures a late-twentieth-century transition into the digital era of surveying, showing how the historic township and range system—marked here as t6n r33e and t5n r33e—continues to dictate the layout of modern ranching boundaries and state roads like NM-288.
