2019 Map of Texline South

About this map

The High Plains borderlands between Texas and New Mexico are defined here by the intersection of cattle country and high-desert drainage systems. Texline sits at the northern edge of the sheet, where the state line divides Union County and Dallam County. This area is characterized by vast open spaces within the Kiowa National Grassland, punctuated by family-named tracks such as Evans Ln, Campsey Ln, and Hershey Ln. The hydrology of the region is centered on ephemeral watercourses like W Rita Blanca Cr, Perico Cr, and the appropriately named Sand Draw. For those looking into local history, the Texline Cem serves as a primary genealogical landmark near the heart of the settlement, while the surrounding grid of section lines and county roads provides a framework for tracing early 21st-century land use.
