2022 Map of Golden Ranch

About this map

Salt Lake sits at the heart of this high plains landscape, a prominent hydrological feature within the broader Portales Valley. This 2022 survey captures the borderlands where Roosevelt County, New Mexico, meets Bailey County, Texas. The terrain is defined by its wide, open character and a strictly gridded network of rural roads that straddle the state line. On the New Mexico side, routes like S Roosevelt Rd 10 and S Roosevelt Rd 14 provide access to the interior rangelands, while the Texas side is serviced by secondary highways including Fm 746 and Fm 298. The map documents the persistent agricultural and ranching layout of the Llano Estacado, showing how state boundaries and township lines like t2s r37e and t3s r37e have dictated the development and movement across this arid region.
