2023 Map of Rardin Hill

About this map

Kiowa National Grassland and Rita Blanca National Grassland dominate this high plains landscape at the intersection of New Mexico and Oklahoma. The terrain is defined by the elevation of Rardin Hill and the sweeping Rabbit Ear Mesa, with drainage provided by the seasonal flows of Seneca Creek and Goodin Draw. Evidence of early settlement and community life is anchored by the Creeds Chapel Cem, located near the center of the quadrangle. A network of rural roads, including Boot Hill Rd and Seneca Valley Rd, connects the scattered water features such as Murphy Lake and Golden Lake. This survey captures the sparse, open character of Union County as it transitions into the Texas Panhandle via Texas State Line Rd.
