2020 Map of Tolar SW

About this map

The high plains of eastern New Mexico are defined here by subtle topographic rises like White Mesa and The Mesa, which break the flat horizon of the Llano Estacado. This 2020 survey documents a landscape structured by the Public Land Survey System, where long-distance gravel routes like Wagon Wheel Rd and Roosevelt Rd 5 follow the section lines of the township and range grid. The map captures the boundary between De Baca and Roosevelt counties, illustrating the sparse, agricultural settlement patterns characteristic of this region. Local transit is facilitated by a network of secondary roads including Colt Rd and N Roosevelt Road 8A, which connect the isolated ranching properties that have occupied these sections since the early 20th century.
