2010 Map of Farwell

About this map

Farwell and Texico anchor this borderland study, where the High Plains landscape is bisected by the rigid boundary between Texas and New Mexico. The map illustrates a classic agricultural grid system, dominated by a network of rural roads such as State Line Rd, County Rd G, and Curry Road B. The economic and logistical life of the area is centered around the transition between these two towns, with aviation playing a key role through the Clovis Municipal Airport and the specialized Farwell Spraying Service, Incorporated Airport. Cultural and community anchors are visible at the Texico Cemetery and the Texico Post Office. In the northern portion of the quadrangle, the ephemeral Running Water Draw provides a rare natural break in the otherwise strictly geometric organization of the terrain, which is primarily defined by large-scale farming and the infrastructure of the border.
