2013 Map of Lockney

About this map

Lockney serves as the central point of this high-plains landscape in Quay County, New Mexico. The terrain is defined by wide drainage systems such as Shallow Well Draw, Butler Draw, and Sager Draw, which illustrate the arid geography of the Llano Estacado region. Smaller locales like Kidder and Kieth are connected by a rigid grid of rural roads, including Quay Road S and Obar Rd, reflecting the systematic township and range surveying typical of the American West. The presence of Camco Ranch Airport and landmarks like Bell Tank suggest an economy rooted in ranching and sparse aerial infrastructure. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of how long-standing ranching settlements and local transportation networks persist in this quiet corner of Eastern New Mexico.
