2019 Map of Ralls SE

About this map

Owens serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Crosby County, where a strictly organized grid of rural roads defines the terrain of the Llano Estacado. The settlement is situated at the junction of Fm 40 and Ranch Rd 1831, surrounded by a network of county roads including Co RD 192 and Co RD 206. This 2019 survey illustrates the persistent geometry of High Plains farming, where nearly every section is accessible by a named route. In the southeastern corner, the flat expanse gives way to the more complex topography of the McDonald Cr drainage, representing the beginning of the break-in-the-plains where erosion has carved into the Caprock. This contrast between the engineered road grid and the natural winding path of the creek highlights the edge of the plateau's transition into the canyon lands.
