2016 Map of New Moore

About this map

New Moore sits at a crossroads in the High Plains, where the agricultural grid of Lynn County meets the Terry Co Lynn Co boundary. This high desert landscape is defined by the intermittent passage of Lost Draw, a dry watercourse that winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, occasionally pooling into scattered depressions and wetlands. The settlement of New Moore is the primary focal point, served by a network of farm-to-market roads including Fm 213 and Fm 179. The map reveals a highly structured rural environment, where section lines are traced by local routes like Co Rd 630 and Co Rd 30, illustrating the expansive land management practices of West Texas. Subtle elevation changes and the presence of seasonal water features in the draw suggest the traditional drainage patterns of the Llano Estacado before the terrain reaches the more populated centers of the region.
