2016 Map of Patricia NE

About this map

Agricultural grid lines and ranching infrastructure define this section of the High Plains north of Patricia. The landscape is characterized by a network of rural corridors, including Ranch Rd 829 and Ranch Rd 2051, which connect the scattered homesteads and farming operations of Dawson County. The terrain is marked by numerous ephemeral wetlands or playas, typical of the Llano Estacado, which provide a stark contrast to the rigid geometry of the local road system. This survey illustrates the persistence of the rectangular land survey system in West Texas, where local routes like Stafford Rd and Co Rd G follow section lines across the flat expanse. The map also shows the transition between state-maintained farm-to-market roads, such as Fm 2052, and the smaller county lanes that provide access to the interior of these large agricultural blocks.
