About this map

Millman Ranch and Benson Ranch stand as primary landmarks in this high-desert region of Eddy County, New Mexico. The landscape is defined by a sparse but deliberate network of ranching roads and thoroughfares that navigate the dry terrain. Significant routes like Nm-360 cut diagonally across the northern townships, while descriptive local names such as Horse Shoe Rd, Curry Comb Rd, and Buckskin Rd hint at the area's equestrian and livestock history.

Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t18s r29e and t19s r29e, provide the underlying grid for this territory. The orientation of tracks like Lindly Rd and various numbered county roads shows how modern infrastructure follows long-established property lines and topographical contours. This survey serves as a record of rural land use in the early 21st century, where the heritage of Western ranching persists through the continued use of these isolated homesteads.
