1971 Map of Ragland

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Caprock dominates the northern landscape of this Quay County quadrangle, forming a sharp escarpment that divides the higher plateau from the drainage basins below. Near the western edge, the small settlement of Ragland sits at the base of Ragland Hill, marking a point of transition where the road climbs the bluff. The presence of Prater Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in this rural cattle-ranching region. The terrain is defined by intermittent watercourses like Blanco Creek and Barranca Creek, which have carved deep drainages into the arid landscape over time. Land use is characterized by wide-open ranch land, punctuated by isolated features such as a Radio Tower and a Well, illustrating the sparse but vital infrastructure of the High Plains in the early 1970s.
