2019 Map of Sand Point

About this map

Sand Point stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this section of Deaf Smith County, marking a high point in a landscape defined by dramatic shifts in elevation. The terrain is deeply etched by drainage patterns, most notably the winding course of Sand Point Draw and the headwaters of Mujeres Cr in the northern reaches. This 2019 survey captures the highly organized, late-twentieth-century road grid that segments the High Plains, where routes like Co Rd UU and Co Rd 19 intersect at precise right angles across the open country. The contrast between the rigid geometry of the county road system and the jagged, irregular contours of the draws reveals the ongoing relationship between human agricultural divisions and the natural erosion of the Llano Estacado. Apart from the named roads and watercourses, the area remains largely undeveloped, highlighting the region's character as open ranchland or managed agricultural territory.
