2010 Map of Lingo

About this map

Lingo sits at the intersection of a vast grid of section lines and ranch roads along the New Mexico-Texas border. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the methodical settlement patterns of Roosevelt County, where long, straight thoroughfares like S Roosevelt Road 32 and S Roosevelt Road D define the landscape. The terrain is largely level, though the presence of Buffalo Soldier Hill provides a singular landmark in an otherwise uniform expanse of agricultural and ranching territory. A network of county and ranch roads, including Ranch Road 54 and Fm 595, facilitates movement across the state line, connecting isolated rural residences and farming plots. The map serves as a clear record of modern land management and road development in the High Plains region.
