About this map

The High Plains of Eastern New Mexico are defined here by a rigid geometric grid of agricultural thoroughfares during the first decade of the 21st century. Running through the heart of the landscape, Curry Road 3 and Curry Road 4 serve as primary lateral arteries for the region's ranching and farming operations. The map documents the precise jurisdictional boundary where the naming conventions shift between the northern and southern halves of the quadrangle. In the northern reaches, names like Curry Road Y and Curry Road U dominate, while the southern section transitions to the Roosevelt County numbering system, including S Roosevelt Road X and S Roosevelt Road Ab. This intersection of road networks highlights the coordinated surveying efforts required to manage the vast, open acreage typical of this portion of the Llano Estacado.
