Hello, we own land in Eddy County and I’d like to be able to find it on Google Earth. [www.earthpoint.us](http://www.earthpoint.us) is not working. Any other way to do this?
Thank you, Todd

I just find a nearby well, get its Lat-Long (from NMOCD) and go from there as frame of reference.

If you post the Section, Township, and Range, I can help you out. Or you can just go to Google Earth and add in the Public Land System which will display S-T-R on Google Earth.

N 32.860820°, W 104.324195° will get you close to the center of your tract. Looks like it’s about 4 miles east of Artesia.

But how did you convert the Township info into a coordinate?

Google New Mexico Oil Conservation Division, once you pull up their site click on the OCD GIS tab which will pull up the map. Zoom into the Township and Range and then the Section. At the bottom left of the screen you will find the latitude and longitude of where your cursor is located on the map.

At the bottom of the Google Earth screen it shows the Lat Long of your mouse pointer. Just point it at something and read the coordinates.
