2023 Map of Hillburn City

About this map

Hillburn City serves as the central point of this Lea County landscape, illustrating the rectilinear land division common in the High Plains of eastern New Mexico. The area is defined by a dense grid of rural roads and section lines, with family-named routes such as Willyard Ln, Osborn Ln, and Zimmerman Ln providing access to individual homesteads and ranching parcels. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies significant burial sites including the Old Plainview Cem and Cox Cem, which anchor the history of early families in the region. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the small residential clustering of Quail Acres, while the descriptive name Six Shooter alludes to the frontier character that persists in the local nomenclature. This 2023 survey provides a clear view of how modern rural life remains structured by the historical Public Land Survey System.
