2016 Map of Loop SW

About this map

McKenzie Draw meanders across the center of this 2016 survey, defining the topography of an otherwise uniform agricultural and ranching landscape in Gaines County. The map reveals a strict rectilinear grid of rural infrastructure, with numerous county roads such as Co RD 122 and Co RD 108 segmenting the plains into large-scale parcels. This layout is characteristic of the High Plains, where the transport network is dictated more by property lines than by natural obstacles. The intersection of FM RD 1066 and Ranch RD 303 in the northeastern quadrant serves as a primary transit point for the region. Though sparsely populated with named settlements, the density of the road network and the subtle contours of the draw suggest an active land use pattern focused on large-scale ranching operations during the early twenty-first century.
