About this map

Rita Blanca National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Dallam County, showcasing the vast open-range management of the Texas Panhandle. The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage of Red Cow Draw, which winds through the central portion of the quadrangle. The map details a network of rural routes that provide access to this remote rangeland, including Andy James Rd and the evocatively named E High Lonesome Ln.

As a modern survey, the map illustrates the persistence of public lands and large-scale ranching infrastructure in one of the most northern reaches of Texas. These family-named roads, such as Young Rd and Bowers Ln, serve as critical markers for local history and property research, tracing the lines of settlement and movement across the shortgrass prairie toward the Oklahoma and New Mexico borders.
