About this map

The high plains of eastern New Mexico are defined by the winding course of Alamosa Cr and the geometric grid of the Public Land Survey System as it existed in 2017. This quadrangle captures the rural borderlands where the Quay Co Roosevelt Co line divides the landscape, primarily consisting of large agricultural sections and ranch access roads. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes that direct the intermittent flow of the creek toward the southeast. Local transportation is managed through a network of numbered ranch roads, including New Mexico 89 and N Roosevelt Road 22, while named paths like Hill Ranch Rd and Franklin Rd indicate long-standing family landholdings and property boundaries. The map provides a clear view of the sparse but orderly development of the Llano Estacado region, where water drainage and section lines dictate the placement of every homestead and transit route.
