2017 Map of Rippee Ranch

About this map

Rippee Ranch and the surrounding ranching landscape sit at a tri-county junction in eastern New Mexico. This 2017 survey documents the intersection of Chaves, De Baca, and Roosevelt counties, a terrain defined by sparse water sources like White Draw and Silas Tank. The map reveals a network of rural roads such as San Patricio Rd and Tinnie Rd that connect isolated properties across the high plains. A notable site for local researchers is the Liston Cem, located in the southeastern quadrant. The presence of these named tanks and cemeteries alongside established ranch boundaries highlights the enduring importance of water management and family legacy in this arid environment.
