The San Simon Ranch anchors this high-plains landscape in Lea County, New Mexico, where the legacy of ranching meets the industrial footprint of the Permian Basin. This 2013 survey documents a remote corner of the Llano Estacado defined by its energy production, notably the West Wilson Oil Field, Wilson Oil Field, and the San Simon Oil Field to the east. The terrain is marked by the distinctive elevation of Grama Ridge and the ephemeral basin of Floyd Lake. A network of county routes, including Co Road 30 and Co Road 31, connects these industrial sites and ranching outposts like Wilson Camp to the regional thoroughfare of NM-176. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range divisions that have structured land use in this arid region for generations.
