2017 Map of Prairieview NE

About this map

New Mexico and Texas meet along a straight meridian, where the high plains of Lea County and Yoakum County share a quiet, agricultural landscape. This borderland is defined by a strictly surveyed grid of county roads, including Old Lovington Rd and Murphy Chapel Rd, which navigate a terrain marked by subtle depressions and the broad passage of Sulphur Springs Draw. Central to the area's local history is the Murphys Chapel Cem, a small landmark that serves as a focal point for genealogy in this corner of the Llano Estacado. The map reveals the late-2010s infrastructure of the region, where state highways like FM 769 cross section lines and local routes such as Koch Rd provide access to the expansive ranching and farming tracts that characterize the New Mexico-Texas line.
