About this map

Smith Ranch sits as a primary point of human activity in this portion of Curry County, where the high plains terrain is defined by the deep incisions of Frio Draw. The landscape shows a clear focus on water management and infrastructure, with numerous wells and water tanks scattered across the sections to support ranching operations in a semi-arid environment. The presence of the Double Wooden Pole Transmission Line cutting across the central part of the quadrangle marks the modernization of the local power grid, showing how utility corridors were integrated into the established ranch lands during the mid-1980s. This survey provides a look at the intersection of traditional land use and essential rural infrastructure before later developments altered the character of the high plains.
