1970 Map of Texline South

About this map

Texline sits at the high-plains intersection of the New Mexico and Texas state line, serving as a critical rail point in the early 1970s. The town's layout is defined by the Fort Worth and Denver railroad, which cuts diagonally through the landscape toward the Gravel Pit on the northeastern edge of the survey. This borderland territory is etched by intermittent drainage systems, most notably Perico Creek and West Rita Blanca Creek, which carve winding paths across the plateau. The transition between Union County and Dallam County is marked by a series of ranching-related infrastructure, including numerous wells and extensive fence lines. Further south, the terrain remains largely open, characterized by the wide basins of Sand Draw and Carrizo Creek, reflecting a landscape dedicated to large-scale land management and sparse settlement near the state boundary.
