2019 Map of Corlena

About this map

Rita Blanca National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in the far northwestern corner of the Texas Panhandle. Fragmented parcels of protected prairie are interspersed with private holdings, divided by a rigid grid of rural routes including Beckman Ln, Crum Rd, and Hester Rd. The ephemeral drainage of W Rita Blanca Cr meanders across the northern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the sparse water resources of Dallam County. Near the intersection of Beckman Ln and the corridor for Highway 87, the Perico Cem stands as a quiet marker of the area's early twentieth-century ranching and farming heritage. This map provides a look at the intersection of modern land management and historical settlement patterns in a region defined by its wide-open cattle country and the legacy of the Dust Bowl-era reclamation.
