About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates this corner of Union County, reflecting the federal land conservation efforts across the high plains of northeastern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Carrizo Creek and the notable topographic feature of Sand Draw, illustrating the arid hydrology of the region. Local transit and cattle ranching logistics are visible through a network of rural routes including Campsey Ln, Toney Rd, and Hwy Sr 562. The map also identifies the small settlement or locale of Plainview, positioned on the plains where the grassland meets private agricultural holdings. This survey captures a modern look at the Public Land Survey System grid, clearly demarcating the boundaries of T24N R35E and R36E as they interact with protected public lands.
