About this map

The high plains borderland between Curry Co and Roosevelt Co is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and agricultural access routes in this early twenty-first-century survey. The landscape is dominated by large-scale township divisions, including t2n r33e, t1n r33e, and t1s r33e, which illustrate the persistent influence of the Public Land Survey System on New Mexico's eastern plains.

Transportation throughout the region relies on a systematic network of numbered and lettered thoroughfares, such as Curry Road 7 and S Roosevelt Road AB. The southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the east-west transit of Baseline Rd, a primary geographic marker for the regional survey. This map captures the expansive, open character of the Llano Estacado, where the terrain is largely shaped by drainage depressions and the rectilinear needs of rural ranching and farming operations.
