2023 Map of L E Ranch

About this map

Mesa Diablo rises prominently in this high-desert landscape, defining the northern geography of the area. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a network of rural roads and drainage patterns typical of southeastern New Mexico. Essential water sources for the cattle industry are represented by features like Red Lake Tank, while the natural hydrology is dictated by the Long Arroyo Draw and Long Arroyo. The map reveals a low-density settlement pattern marked by family or local names on secondary roads, including Lenore Rd, Janice Rd, and Donna Rd, which branch off from the more established E 2nd St corridor. This modern rendering of the L E Ranch quadrangle captures the enduring rural character of Chaves County, where land management is organized by a clear grid of township and range boundaries.
