About this map

Antelope Ridge and the broad expanse of Woodley Flat define this section of Lea County, where ranching and resource management shape the arid landscape. The settlement of Ochoa sits centrally along NM-128, serving as a primary corridor through the high desert. To the south, the Pitchfork Ranch and Baird Place represent established landholdings in a region where water is the most critical infrastructure.

The map reveals an intricate network of water management features essential for cattle and local survival. Names like Yates Windmill, Fairview Windmill, and Woodley Windmills dot the survey alongside catchment basins such as Johnson Grass Tank and Vivian Tank. These landmarks, along with Antelope Draw, provide a detailed record of how the land has been utilized and named by those working the desert southwest.
