How to find out who is drilling where (HORIZONTALLY)?

Use your checks as your starting point. Contact the operators that send you the check. As for the Division Order department. Ask for a copy of the well plats “as Drilled”. Ask for copies of the Division Orders that go with the wells. Have your dad’s owner number ready. Have your sections ready. I am not familiar with New Mexico tax laws, but you may have to pay property taxes on the production, so you need to track that down in the county. You don’t want to lose the mineral rights from not paying taxes on time. Many states have them due this time of year. Also ask them requirements they have for transferring the title to the heirs.
