2017 Map of Lingo

About this map

Causey and Lingo anchor this section of the High Plains, where the border between New Mexico and Texas is defined by the straight-line precision of the 103rd meridian. The landscape is characterized by its organized grid of county roads, such as S Roosevelt Road 30 and S Roosevelt Road 32, which reflect the legacy of the Public Land Survey System. Standing out from the level terrain is Buffalo Soldier Hill, a named landmark that suggests historical significance in an area otherwise dominated by agriculture and ranching. To the east, the map crosses into Bailey County and Cochran County, Texas, where the road network shifts to designations like Co Rd 25 and Fm 595 near Griffith. This survey illustrates the persistent rural settlement patterns of the Llano Estacado in the early twenty-first century.
