2022 Map of Humble City NE

About this map

The high plains along the state line between New Mexico and Texas are defined here by a geometric grid of rural roads and the subtle drainage patterns of the Llano Estacado. The intersection of Lea, Yoakum, and Gaines counties creates a unique tri-point landscape where administrative boundaries dictate the layout of the land. This 2022 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching and agricultural region, where ephemeral watercourses like Wards Draw and Wardswell Draw meander across the terrain, contrasting with the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System. Local movement is facilitated by a network of named routes including Harkey Rd and Ranch Rd 1757, reflecting the modern infrastructure of this borderland area where large-scale land divisions like t16s r38e and t16s r39e organize the territory.
