2013 Map of Smith Ranch

About this map

Smith Ranch sits at the heart of this High Plains landscape in Curry County, where the terrain is defined by the significant depression of Frio Draw. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road network typical of the Llano Estacado, with routes like Co Road Q and Co Road P cutting through the topographic contours as they descend into the drainage basin. This 2013 survey provides a clear look at the ranching infrastructure and land divisions within t6n r34e and surrounding townships. Along the southern edge, the transit corridor of State Route 288, also marked as Nm-288, connects this isolated ranching country to the broader region. The cartography emphasizes the relationship between the natural hydrology of the draw and the human-imposed grid of county roads.
