2013 Map of Lingo

About this map

The High Plains borderlands between New Mexico and Texas are defined by a geometric grid of ranch roads and section lines in this 2013 survey. Centered on the small settlement of Lingo, the landscape transition across the state line is marked by a shift in road designations and jurisdictions. While the New Mexico side features rural communities like Causey and specialized operations such as Redland Dairy, the Texas side to the east is characterized by the wide agricultural expanses of Bailey Co and Cochran Co. A rare topographic break in this level terrain occurs at Buffalo Soldier Hill, providing a distinct landmark in an area otherwise dominated by the systematic layout of the Public Land Survey System. Further south, the map identifies the location of Griffith along the state boundary, where Tx-114 and Fm-595 provide regional connectivity.
