2013 Map of Arch

About this map

Arch serves as the focal point of this high plains landscape in eastern Roosevelt County, situated just west of the Texas border. The area is defined by a grid of rural routes, including S Roosevelt Road G and S Roosevelt Road 15, which connect dispersed ranching sites and historic resting places. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the mapping of Arch Cem and the more isolated Eiland Cem, marking the early settlement history of the region. The natural geography is characterized by depressions and water management features essential for livestock, notably the Little Salt Lake and several catchment basins including West Tank, East Tank, and Middle Tank. The presence of the Phillips Ranch underscores the enduring agricultural character of this portion of the Llano Estacado.
