2011 Map of Progresso SW

About this map

Achinson Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, highlighting the sparse ranching infrastructure of central New Mexico. The terrain is characterized by broad expanses like Atkinson Flats, where survival and industry depend on scattered water sources such as Three Way Windmill and Atkinson Windmill. This 2011 survey documents a network of remote access routes, including Forest 458 Rd and County Rd-B080, which connect these isolated points of interest. The map illustrates how human activity in this arid region is centered around specific named landmarks and a few critical ranching outposts, providing a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure required to maintain these traditional land uses.
