Amistad is a tiny, peaceful high‑plains community (pop. ~137) with wide open skies, historic small‑town charm and easy access to quiet outdoor time—ideal for several‑week contracts if you value low cost of living, solitude and getting to know a close‑knit local scene.
For essentials and weekend variety, Clayton (about 39 miles north) offers groceries and basic services, while Tucumcari (a roughly 73‑mile drive) provides more dining, clinics and Route‑66 attractions with a larger population (≈5,278), so you can enjoy peaceful on‑site weeks with reachable weekend options.
