2017 Map of Lane Salt Lake

About this map

Lane Salt Lake dominates the northwestern portion of this New Mexico landscape, serving as a primary hydrological focal point in an otherwise arid expanse of Lea County. The terrain transitions into the Simanola Valley, which stretches across the central and southern sections of the map. This area is defined by a sparse but essential network of ranching roads and local tracks, including the Mcguffin Rd and the prominent Nine Ranch corridor. Small-scale water management is evident at Red Tank, a necessary feature for sustaining life and livestock in the high desert. The survey captures the organized grid of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how township and range boundaries like t10s r33e structured the settlement and land use of the Llano Estacado region in the early 21st century.
