2013 Map of Pep

About this map

The high plains of eastern New Mexico define this region of Roosevelt County, where the small community of Pep serves as a central point in a landscape marked by a rigid grid of ranch and farm roads. The terrain is relatively flat, as indicated by the sparse contour lines, with the local geography organized by the Public Land Survey System. The settlement of Richland lies to the east, anchored by the Richland Cem, a key landmark for genealogical research in this sparsely populated area. Transportation is facilitated by a network of thoroughfares including NM-458 and several numbered county routes such as S Roosevelt Road P and S Roosevelt Road 27. This map documents a quiet agricultural district where the vastness of the Llano Estacado is managed through a precise system of section lines and gravel roads, connecting isolated homesteads to the primary Highway.
