2016 Map of Corlena

About this map

Rita Blanca National Grassland dominates the northern reaches of this Panhandle landscape, where the meandering course of W Rita Blanca Cr carves a path through the open plains of Dallam County. This survey illustrates a high-plains agricultural and grazing environment defined by a rigid grid of rural corridors and family-named roads. To the southeast, the Perico Cem remains as a poignant record of local genealogy and settlement history, situated near the intersection of Beckman Ln and Willis Rd. The map tracks the passage of U.S. Route 87 as it cuts diagonally across the township, serving as the primary artery connecting these isolated farmsteads. From Carrizo Rd in the west to Draper Rd in the east, the map documents the persistent ranching infrastructure and land use patterns that characterize this portion of the Texas Northwest.
