2023 Map of Field SW

About this map

Alamosa Creek provides the primary drainage through this high plains landscape, cutting a winding path across the northwestern and central portions of the quadrangle. The map is defined by a rigid grid of rural roads and section lines, emphasizing the systematic division of the land for agricultural use. A rare three-way county junction is documented here where the borders of Quay, Curry, and Roosevelt counties meet. This administrative intersection is reflected in the naming of the surrounding transportation network, such as N Roosevelt Road 23 and Curry Road 22, which follow the cardinal directions of the Public Land Survey System. Aside from a few isolated stock tanks and Pasture Rd, the area is characterized by its openness and the absence of established town centers.
