2017 Map of Forrest

About this map

Forrest sits at the intersection of a vast grid of section roads in this part of Quay County, where the plains of the Llano Estacado meet a dramatic escarpment to the north. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, notably the winding paths of Frio Draw and Blanco Cr, which cut through the level terrain. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Beevers Cem stands as a quiet marker of the families who settled this high plains ranching and farming country. The map clearly illustrates the systematic township and range organization of the land, with routes like Quay Road AE and Quay Rd AD following the precise lines of the Public Land Survey System. These roads provide the primary infrastructure connecting isolated homesteads and ranch lands across this arid New Mexico landscape.
