About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates the northern reaches of this high plains landscape, where the seasonal waters of Carrizo Creek meander across the border into Texas. This corner of Union County is characterized by a sparse, grid-like network of rural roads that reflect the enduring township and range system. Named corridors such as Holman Rd and Newlon Rd connect isolated ranching tracts, while private routes like Higgins Ln and Dixon Ln lead to homesteads along the creek valley.

The boundary between New Mexico and Texas runs vertically along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where FM 296 serves as a primary transit line. The terrain is marked by gentle undulations and scattered stock ponds, illustrating the reliance on water management in this arid grazing country. Small landmarks like Ranch Rd 102 and Lobb Rd hint at the local family histories and ranching operations that have shaped this borderland for generations.
