About this map

Millman Ranch and Benson Ranch stand as primary landmarks in this high-desert stretch of Eddy County during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns and ranching infrastructure, with watercourses like Bear Grass Draw and Palmilla Draw cutting through the terrain. These ephemeral features are characteristic of the region, where water management is central to the land's utility.

Transportation is facilitated by a network of rural routes including Curry Comb Rd, County Rd-210, and Lindly Rd. This 2010 survey provides a clear view of the ranch boundaries and public access roads that supported the local agricultural economy at the time. The layout of these roads relative to the natural draws illustrates how human movement and settlement in this part of New Mexico are fundamentally shaped by the topography of the draws.
