Capulin stands at the northwestern corner of this high-plains landscape, where the volcanic profile of Sierra Grande dominates the eastern horizon. The settlement’s street grid is situated near the junction of Bison Rd and the shared route of 64 87, serving as a focal point for a network of rural county roads that branch into the surrounding ranch lands. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral courses of Pinabete Creek and Gallegos Creek, which weave through the townships of t29n r28e and t28n r29e. This 2023 survey illustrates a modern land-use pattern where established property lines, such as those along Kennedy Rd and D Bar Rd, follow the historical Public Land Survey System. The map documents the enduring infrastructure of Union County, showing how contemporary routes like Amistad Rd connect isolated homesteads to the primary thoroughfares crossing the plateau.
