About this map

Texline sits at the southern edge of this high plains survey, where the border between New Mexico and Texas is traced through the grid of ranch roads and intermittent creek beds. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the westward-flowing Apache Cr which carves through Apache Valley in the north, and Junkyard Cr and Perico Cr in the south. These seasonal waterways underscore the arid nature of the high desert plateau, where life and industry revolve around the land's utility.

A significant portion of the western territory is occupied by the Clayton Livestock Research Area, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on cattle ranching. The map details a strictly organized rural infrastructure, from the diagonal path of the major highway and railroad corridor to local arteries like Stirrup Rd and Shamburger Rd, which connect isolated ranching outposts across the state line.
