2020 Map of Clayton SW

About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates this corner of Union County, reflecting a landscape defined by federal conservation and high-plains grazing. The terrain is marked by the seasonal drainage of Carrizo Cr and the wide expanse of Sand Draw, features that dictated the location of ranching infrastructure and early road networks. The map details a grid of rural routes such as Campsey Ln and Toney Rd that link isolated homesteads and pastures across the townships. A notable point of interest is the label for Plainview, positioned near the intersection of Hwy Sr 562, which hints at the localized community centers that served this ranching region in the early 21st century. The survey provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t24n r35e and t25n r36e, which remain foundational to property ownership in this part of New Mexico.
