About this map

State Line Rd serves as the primary longitudinal axis for this high plains landscape, marking the border between New Mexico and Texas. The infrastructure here is defined by an extensive network of water management, visible through numerous named wells and pumps such as Prairie Chicken Windmill, Pardnership Windmill, and North Beall Windmill. These features indicate the vital role of groundwater for ranching operations like Standefer Ranch and Gilliam Ranch in a region with minimal surface water. Beyond agriculture, the presence of the Walker Oil Field on the Texas side of the boundary highlights the energy production that drives the local economy. The grid-like arrangement of routes such as County Rd-179 and Underwood Rd provides a clear view of how these remote rangelands were partitioned and managed in the early 21st century.
