2013 Map of Ragland

About this map

Ragland Hill and the deep incision of Rincon Canyon dominate the northwestern topography of this Quay County landscape. The settlement of Ragland sits at the junction of NM-252 and NM-209, serving as a central point for the surrounding agricultural and ranching grid. The terrain is defined by the sharp escarpment that separates the high plains from the drainages of Barranca Cr to the north and Blanco Cr and Frio Draw to the south. Local history is anchored by sites like Prater Cem and the small community of Stewart in the southeast corner. The map reveals an extensive network of rural routes, including Quay Road 36 and Quay Road AM, which illustrate the organized land use of the High Plains during the early 21st century.
