About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates this High Plains landscape where the Texas Panhandle meets New Mexico. The boundary between Union County and Dallam County aligns with the state line, creating a unique intersection of ranching interests and federal land management. Evidence of the region's agricultural economy is visible at the Clayton Livestock Research Center and the small settlement of Texline, which serves as a critical junction for local rail and road transport.

Ephemeral watercourses like Apache Creek, East Rita Blanca Creek, and Perico Creek carve subtle drainage patterns across the terrain, leading toward the Rita Blanca Creek valley. Human activity is marked by scattered infrastructure, including a Pumping Station, Landing Strips, and a Rodeo Ground. Local history is noted along the highway at a Roadside Park and an official Historical Marker, while remote points like Halfway and Worsham anchor the vast grazing lands.
