Planning a hunt near Texico? Think of the Curry County hunting map as two layers: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. In this Curry County guide: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and getting landowner permission the right way.
Building your Curry County hunting map
For a home near Gallaher, start with New Mexico Department of Wildlife for public areas, including wildlife management areas and other access programs where they exist.
The viewer Curry County publishes
Parcels around Portair can be looked up on the NM Office of the State Engineer County Parcels 2025 layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, which opens without registering. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along US Route 84 and select the outline, and that holds around Texico too. In and around Texico, save the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county uses it to find the file.
Reading boundaries on the county map
Private boundaries come from the NM Office of the State Engineer County Parcels 2025 layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, and each tract near Gallaher lists an owner.
Curry County in a few facts
Clovis is the county seat, where most land records are kept. Smaller places on the map include Texico, Grady, Melrose, and Bellview, each with its own cluster of lots. About 47,222 people live in Curry County (Census estimate, 2023) on about 1,406 square miles. Curry County was organized in 1909, and some chains of title near Gallaher are long.
The paper trail behind a parcel
Before you sign anything, request the recorded deed from the County Clerk; the parcel line is a drawing of it, which applies near Clovis as much as anywhere. Older tracts near Melrose can sit on many deeds, and a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Being a good guest
Respect livestock and crops around Grady, and tell someone where you'll be; it keeps permission coming back.
Offices that can help
Recorded documents for a parcel near Clovis come from the County Clerk, often with an online index. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Clovis need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Limits of the parcel data
For a home near Bellview, acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on the ground. For a tract near Bellview, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Land on the county line
Curry County touches Quay County, Roosevelt County, Bailey County, TX, Deaf Smith County, TX, and Parmer County, TX, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Melrose can show up across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map too. For a tract near Grady, our state page lists each neighboring county map across New Mexico.
Sections, lots and bearings
New Mexico uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Texico is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Clovis odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Portair before you request a deed or survey.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Broadview, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Grady keeps working without signal.
Reading terrain
On the aerial around Pleasant Hill, travel corridors and edges stand out; match each spot to its parcel.
Contacting owners
Use the owner name and mailing address on the record for a tract near Broadview; reach out well before the season.
Staying legal
Check New Mexico Department of Wildlife for seasons and licensing, and know your state's trespass rules before hunting near Grady.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
