About this map

Bates Place and a network of family-named ranching outposts define this high plains landscape along the Harding and Quay county line. The terrain is a vast expanse of range land punctuated by vital water sources, including West Sand Springs and dozens of named wells such as Hawkins Well, Nelson Well, and McFarland Well. This density of named wells illustrates the critical nature of groundwater for livestock operations in the semi-arid eastern New Mexico climate.

Transportation is dominated by the diagonal corridor of NM-39, which cuts across the grid of section lines and gravel roads. In the southeast, the village of Logan sits near the northern bank of the Canadian River, where local landmarks like the Logan Cem and streets like Planet St and Sky St mark the edge of settlement. Notable agricultural sites including Bruhn Ranch, Fitzner Ranch, and the Red Windmill show the distribution of rural holdings during this era.
