2020 Map of San Simon Ranch

About this map

San Simon Ranch serves as the namesake landmark for this portion of Lea County, a landscape defined by ranching life and desert geography in the Llano Estacado. The terrain is marked by the distinct elevation of Grama Ridge and the ephemeral basin of Floyd Lake, which together characterize the local drainage and grazing patterns. A sparse network of ranch roads provides the primary infrastructure for the area, including the San Simon Rd and Delaware Basin Rd. This survey reflects the modern intersection of traditional cattle ranching and industrial access, as seen through the grid of township and range boundaries like t21s r34e and t21s r35e. The map is particularly useful for understanding how water sources and land divisions shaped settlement in this high plains environment.
