About this map

Eightmile Draw carves a subtle path across this high plains landscape of Lea County, marking the most significant topographical variation in an otherwise geometric grid of section lines and range boundaries. This 2017 survey reveals the organized land management of the Llano Estacado, where long county roads like Simpson Rd and Gladiola Rd define the transport network between isolated agricultural holdings.

Local family history is centered at the King Cem, located in the western portion of the quadrangle. The naming of local routes, such as Harbisons, Duncan Rd, and Herrera Ln, provides a direct link to the ranching families and residents who have maintained this rural infrastructure. The map clearly delineates the township and range divisions, including t13s r37e and t12s r38e, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Coburn Loop and Doran Rd.
