About this map

The Lea County-Zip Franklin Memorial Airport serves as a central landmark in this portion of the Llano Estacado, anchoring a landscape defined by its rigid grid of section lines and rural thoroughfares. The terrain is characterized by large agricultural and industrial blocks, with a network of local roads including Co Rd 119, W Sumruld Rd, and Eidson Rd providing access to the interior.

Names like Howell Ln, Harrod Ln, and Mc Cormick Ln suggest the deep roots of local ranching and farming families in Lea County. The map details a transition from the semi-urban edges near the airport to the more open reaches defined by townships t15s r35e and t16s r35e. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent organization of the High Plains, where the geometry of the land remains remarkably consistent across generations of land use.
