2017 Map of Illinois Camp NE

About this map

The vast, arid plains of Eddy County are defined by a network of ranching and access roads in this 2017 survey. Bluestem Rd cuts diagonally across the landscape, serving as a primary artery through the township and range sections. The nomenclature of the area reflects its pastoral and agricultural character, with thoroughfares such as Cowtown Rd, Horse Shoe Rd, Curry Comb Rd, and Buckskin Rd marking the terrain. The map captures the systematic division of the land into distinct quadrants like t18s r29e and t19s r29e, revealing a modern rural infrastructure focused on land management and resource transport. This cartographic study provides an essential look at the late 20th-century development of New Mexico's southeastern rangelands.
