2017 Map of Prairieview

About this map

Prairieview anchors this section of Lea County, New Mexico, where the grid-based settlement of the Llano Estacado is clearly visible. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of secondary roads and lanes, including Collins Rd, Dovey Rd, and Crockett Rd, which serve numerous agricultural and industrial plots. These road names, such as Simpson Rd and Dickenson Ln, often reflect local family legacies or early settlers of the High Plains. Drainage in this arid environment is represented by the ephemeral McKenzie Draw, which cuts across the northeastern corner. The map also records the precise township and range boundaries, such as t14s r37e and t15s r38e, illustrating the systematic division of land that defines the region's historical development and ranching history.
