About this map

The border of Roosevelt Co Lea Co bisects this high plains landscape of southeastern New Mexico, defining a region where the vast, open terrain is organized by a geometric grid of rural roads and land divisions. This 2017 survey details the southern reaches of Roosevelt County and the northern boundary of Lea County, characterized by the Public Land Survey System townships of t8s r34e, t8s r35e, t9s r34e, and t9s r35e. The transport network relies on a series of local connectors, including S Roosevelt Rd W and S Roosevelt Road Y, which provide access to the intermittent ranching and agricultural tracts that define the local economy. Notable family-named routes such as Vada Lee and Crow Rd offer a more personal connection to the residents of this sparsely populated Llano Estacado region, while thoroughfares like La Mesa Rd and Co Rd 170 link the isolated townships together across the flat, semi-arid horizon.
