2017 Map of San Simon Ranch
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
San Simon Ranch serves as the namesake landmark for this portion of the Permian Basin, where the High Plains of Lea County meet the industrial demands of the modern energy sector. The landscape is characterized by its isolation and the practical infrastructure of the high desert, centered around a network of desert roads including Delaware Basin Rd and San Simon Rd. Natural topographic features like the Grama Ridge and the ephemeral Floyd Lake provide some of the few markers in an area otherwise defined by ranching boundaries and energy development. This 2017 survey details the section lines and township grids that organize this arid terrain, showing how historical ranching sites persist alongside contemporary transport routes like Sims Rd and Co Rd 32.
