2016 Map of Hooker NW

About this map

The borderlands of the High Plains are defined here by a rigorous section-line road network that straddles the state line between Stevens County, Kansas and Texas County, Oklahoma. The landscape is dominated by a grid of numbered and lettered rural routes, such as Mile 44 Rd and Co Hwy D, which serve as the primary arteries for this agricultural region. This 2016 survey illustrates how modern infrastructure maintains the rigid geometric patterns established by the Public Land Survey System, with the terrain marked by occasional depressions and isolated local landmarks like E0030 Rd. The map reveals a sparsely settled but highly organized rural environment where the boundary between two states is navigated by a series of precisely spaced roads, including Road E and Mile 50.
