2013 Map of Rippee Ranch

About this map

The high plains of eastern New Mexico intersect where the boundaries of Chaves, De Baca, and Roosevelt counties meet in this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by its ranching infrastructure and drainage patterns, most notably White Draw and the family-named Rippee Ranch. For local historians and genealogists, the presence of the Liston Cem and named landmarks like West Jett Windmill provide specific points of reference in an area otherwise characterized by a geometric grid of rural routes. Secondary roads such as Tinnie Rd, San Patricio Rd, and Roosevelt Road Y connect scattered water sources like Silas Tank, reflecting the essential nature of water management in this arid grazing country. The map captures the quiet persistence of these remote ranching outposts in the early 21st century.
