1968 Map of Glenrio

About this map

Glenrio straddles the border between New Mexico and Texas, serving as a primary focal point during this era of interstate travel before the full bypassing of old highway routes. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Trujillo Creek and Martha Creek, which carve through the high plains topography towards Sand Point Draw. Evidence of early settlement and community infrastructure is visible at Endee, where the Endee Cemetery preserves the local history of Quay County. This 1982 photorevised edition captures the evolution of transportation in the region, noting a Roadside Park near the state line and a major Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map highlights the intersection of four different counties—Quay, Oldham, Deaf Smith, and the state boundary itself—illustrating how political and geographical divisions meet in this arid corridor.
