About this map

The small settlement of Kermit sits in the northwestern corner of this High Plains landscape in Roosevelt County. The area is characterized by a sparse, grid-like network of rural roads such as S Roosevelt Road 20 and S Roosevelt Road 24, reflecting the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System. The terrain is dotted with various depressions and ephemeral water features, most notably Badger Lake in the northern portion of the quadrangle.

This 2020 survey provides a clear view of the ranching and agricultural infrastructure in eastern New Mexico. The map details the intersections of long county routes like S Roosevelt Road Ag and S Roosevelt Road Af, which serve as the primary arteries for this low-density region. The lack of dense urbanization emphasizes the open-range character of the southern Llano Estacado during the early twenty-first century.
