2013 Map of San Jon NW

About this map

Plaza Larga Cr and Revuelto Cr carve a complex drainage pattern through this section of the High Plains, where the agricultural landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation features. The Hudson Canal and various irrigation channels like McCaskey Lateral and Sours Lateral trace the contours of the land, supporting isolated ranching outposts such as Troutman Ranch. A rigid grid of rural corridors, including Quay Road 65 and Quay Road U, organizes the territory around the drainage of Barranca Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern intersection of traditional ranching life at places like Smith with the regional transportation infrastructure of Interstate 40, which cuts a diagonal path across the southern township lines, fundamentally altering the movement through this part of the Llano Estacado.
