2013 Map of Obar

About this map

Obar sits at the heart of this high plains landscape in eastern Quay County, situated where a diagonal rail line intersects the local road network. The small settlement is anchored by the nearby Obar Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. The terrain is defined by wide sections of open land, occasionally broken by named localities such as Bullock, Nelson, and Hughs, which likely represent family ranching hubs or former rail sidings. Along the eastern edge, the West Fork Nara Visa Arroyo carves a subtle drainage path through the topography. Evidence of local industry appears in the southwest corner with a designated Gravel Pit. The map is structured by a rigorous grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Obar Rd and Lockney Rd, reflecting the organized agricultural and ranching layout of the New Mexico borderlands.
