2019 Map of Red Cow Draw

About this map

Rita Blanca National Grassland dominates this section of Dallam County, showcasing a landscape defined by conservation and grazing management. The terrain is marked by the seasonal drainage of Red Cow Draw, which winds through the central and western portions of the quadrangle. This 2019 survey illustrates the sparse but essential road network serving the Panhandle's ranching interests, including routes such as Andy James Rd, Young Rd, and the evocatively named E High Lonesome Ln. These roads follow the section lines characteristic of the Great Plains, providing access to remote acreage and public lands. The boundary markings for the Rbng underscore the fragmented nature of the national grassland parcels amidst private holdings, a pattern typical of the region's land use history.
