2017 Map of Johnson Ranch

About this map

Johnson Ranch sits at the center of this 2017 study of the Llano Estacado in Lea County, illustrating the sparse settlement and large-scale land management typical of the High Plains. The landscape is defined by its subtle depressions and terminal basins, most notably the Four Lakes region in the southwestern corner. This area includes North Lake, East Lake, and Middle Lake, which represent critical water sources in an otherwise arid ranching environment. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like Co Rd 165 and Peveler Dr, highlighting the isolation of these remote homesteads. The map serves as a clear record of the Public Land Survey System divisions, with the township and range lines of T9S through T11S meticulously delineated across the open range.
